I don't spend a ton of time on selection, but I know what sounds appealing and what doesn't. I'm sure I miss out on books out of my comfort zone, which is why I joined this book club--to move the boundaries a little bit at least.

I usually read a few books at the same time (well, people will know what I mean). My guess is that you read one book at a time.

Of course. That's another rule I follow, and when I become queen, it will be mandatory for all.
Anna Karenina was assigned reading one summer in high school; I read the Cliff Notes for the test on it, and I've always felt a slight twinge of guilt about that. So I have to read it eventually.
