My thinking goes more along the lines of pilotbob.
Since I started to participate in the Book Club, almost all the books that were elected were books I otherwise would have never read due to genre (neither science fiction nor fantasy are part of my usual fare), and of some of the other books I had never heard before.
What happened was that I had more often then not a really good reading experience and was introduced to books and authors that I would have missed otherwise.
Books I know and like I can read on my own, outside of the Book Club.
