I also haven't seen the Val Kilmer Batman

I am a mother who has lost everything, displaced many times with my children,and now we face eviction because I cannot pay $800 rent.

Question to all those in book clubs: does your book club ever use the book club questions that some books provide? If so, how do you use them - do you go through the qus as a group, or just get some ideas to facilitate discussion? Do you go for a different format?
