I still think there should be some changes (some way to get "fantasy" on the list), but I am satisfied as-is.

RE: Foreign, the world-wide participation is why the sub-title is "originally non-English". This is an English language book club, so most of the selected books will be "originally English". This category gives us a guaranteed book written somewhere else.
But still, it's unfair and someone biased. It needs to go. If I lived in another country and a book originally written in my country was nominated, I would not be happy about it. So in fairness to everyone, this category has to go. I don't care that mist people who participate are American, if it's unfair to even one person, it's unfair to all.
