Never having participated in a book club before, I'm kind of sitting on the sidelines trying to get a feel for it. While I can certainly understand the rule about committing to read the chosen book, some of the nominated titles were so unappealing to me that I knew I would never read them--so I did not vote.
So ... my question is this: If I don't participate in the selection process but decide to read a chosen book, is it bad form to participate in the subsequent discussion?
