A Christmas Carol is literature, anything by Matthew Reilly is not.

I am wary of those "discussions" as the last time i saw one on this board, it devolved, predictably, into people calling others elitists and descending into temper tantrums about how they wanted to read fun things not things that made them work.
I prefer classics and some modern literature, but I am interested to see what gets suggested and how we set up the club in terms of book picks.
