[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Great advice has already been suggested. I would also like to add that I think it is best to try to pick books that are available in paperback. Not everyone is able to buy hardcovers or pay to download brand new books.

Most of the book clubs I have been apart of have ended up becoming 'wine drinking' clubs. Decide what type of club you want. If you want to actually discuss the book, great. If you want a bunch of people showing up that don't actually bothering reading the book, then that might work for you too but just be upfront about your expectations. [/quote]

This is what I have found as well.  So I tend to avoid book clubs for thsi reason b/c I want to discuss the books, and feel like I am wasting my time if people show up and giggle and say, "I actually didn't finish the book," or, "I actually didn't even open the book," and everyone laughs and says, "ME too!" and I read the book in like 3 days, 6 weeks ago, after the previous gathering, and have also read about 12 other books in the meantime. Sigh.[/quote]
