My guess is that some people would prefer to not have to purchase a book for the bookclub, and so nominate/vote on freebies, which are likely out of copyright and therefore as you say, old. Perhaps when we revise the monthly bookclub selection criteria we could agree on some sort of compromise. I agree with Jon, I would like to see variety.
