I always think that book clubs sound like a good idea, and then I resent being "forced" to read a specific title. I like to leave myself plenty of room to change my mind in my challenges.
At the moment I'm thinking along the lines of:
- A list of named authors I like but who I have been neglecting and/or want to explore more. People like Alastair Reynolds and Gene Wolfe, where I already own more than one unread book but struggle to fit them in with my other reading, or Brandon Sanderson who I only started reading this year, but who is fairly prolific.
- Books from omnibuses. I have a lot of omnibuses. I love to buy them, because they're usually good value, but I also don't love to read from them, because you can't mark them as done until you've read all of the individual books collected in them.
And I'll have the last year of my crime challenge, and the award lists I'm working on, and so on.
