I think much of this comes down to what we want to get out of a book club.

I like the Lit club selections because it is to my taste. I know many participate in book clubs to read things they might not otherwise read. Of course, that raises the question of whether enough people are willing to spend money on the latter endeavor. I have always wished more of the club selections were either in the MR library or in the public domain.

So what are your bars to participation? Time? Cost? Availability? Or are the selections not to your taste?

I could see a world in which the clubs were combined, as long as everyone knows that no one will love every selection.
