I used to like the nominating and voting threads (in which I participated) for finding / recommending books, and I wasn't much into discussion. I bowed out when it seemed the club was meant to be more about discussion.
Maybe having a clear statement on what the club "is" would help?

This is in the introduction material for every nomination thread:

Maybe this needs updated to reflect that we are hoping those who nominate/vote will participate in the discussions? Something else?
As for information in general, each of the
nomination and
voting threads has an intro about the nomination or voting process and I recently added some general "how things work" information to the
Book Club Selections List as well.
I am not opposed to changing that thread to "Book Club Introduction, FAQ, and Selections List" (or something) and adding more detail there if people think that would be helpful. There are already 9 stickied threads and I would prefer to do that instead of asking for a new thread to be stickied. It would probably be a copy/paste from the nominations thread for now unless we want to update that information.
