I know all Goodreads groups have a 'polls' area; but its a lot of work to set up polls.
I say, why not just do some quizzes, 'off-the-cuff' right here in the discussion bin?
We all have galaxies of factoids swimming around in our skulls. Why not share that lore? It can go in its own bin, and make for interesting little chats, maybe.
An example to demonstrate.
'Martinis, cigarettes, cars, and women' flavor the Bond series by Ian Fleming. What elements do you typically find in a book by Trevanian?
a) ships, wine, expats, post-colonialism b) Roman history, long-distance romance, death squads, fine art c) aviation, scotch whiskey, philosophy, chess d) mountaineering, orientalism, improvised weapons e) cigars, asceticism, marathon-running, symphony music
