No one is under obligation to read a book just because it was selected nor are they obligated to take part in any discussion. I've already stated I've had my fill of Joyce and won't be reading the book. I'll moderate the discussion, and support all who wish to read it, but I have zero interest in re-engaging with an author who has bored me to tears in the past. If others find him interesting, all well and good. I don't. Yes, it's good to expand one's horizons, and book clubs are excellent ways to expose us to material that would normally be off our beaten track, but that doesn't mean we have to read every book voted on and take part in every discussion.
