The Association of Book Group Readers and Leaders (AGBRL), a "cooperative information clearinghouse to provoke, inspire, and reward individual readers and members of book discussion groups," boasts over 500 members in 40 states and six foreign countries. And that's only counting clubs that bother to sign up for a national membership association.
