 Did someone say it did?
If you're referring to my post, I explicitly gave exceptions for time, availability or aversion.  The last would cover your Joyce situation.  I'd hardly advocate a standard I don't meet myself.
I also, to make it clear, am using the word participate to mean read the selected book. Some folks lurk.
