Booking Through Thursday

A combo of two suggestions by: Heidi and by litlove
Have you ever been a member of a book club? How did your group choose (ot, if you haven’t been, what do you think is the best way to choose) the next book and who would lead discussion?

Do you feel more or less likely to appreciate books if you are obliged to read them for book groups rather than choosing them of your own free will? Does knowing they are going to be read as part of a group affect the reading experience?

I've never been a book club member. I like the idea of them, but I'd rather have a one-on-one discussion with someone about a book we've both read; I love doing that and don't get to do it often enough. :)

If I were obliged to read books for a book group, I think I'd feel as though I were back at university with a set list, so yes, I think that would affect my experience. :)
