This sounds like a club that could give a great deal of pleasure. I would agree with the inclusion of poetry.

The use of sub-categories seems an effective way of dealing with individual shorter works. Thus, one could discuss Le Fanu's deeply disturbing short story "Green Tea" as part of a minor sub-category. Likewise his great Gothic novel Uncle Silas could be treated as a major long work under the category of Sheridan Le Fanu.

I feel strongly that some shorter works are well worth being given discussion time. The Time Machine by Wells is a very short novel but it engages with some very significant social and philosophical implications.

What would be the most effective way of nominating some choices?
