I am in complete agreement with JS on it being ludicrous to have two categories the same. There’s really no reason to have that and we read, on the whole, fairly classic books within the book club in general.
I would like to throw in a couple of options:
1 – Award-Winner: must have won one of the following awards – open for other options: Pulitzer, Booker, Giller, and Hugo.
2 – Youth: something in the Youth fiction area. While many of us are older, not everyone is up to reading Literature every month and a nod to more youthful titles and youthful members would be nice. I’ve enjoyed many young fiction titles over the years even though I’m not in the target age group anymore.
This would be for the year 2013.
