Would be my first question.

Second would be "Did you do it for the book or for the group? Meaning the experience of meeting with this particular group of people became more the reason than what was going on in the book.

It sounds/feels like a social experiment. Not a good or bad thing to me. Probably a touchstone for some of the folks participating.
