I haven't missed a book yet. As with you, I'm always willing to give something a try even if it doesn't seem my thing, although I wouldn't spend a lot of money on any selection. I can be surprised both ways; sometimes I don't care for a book I expected to like and sometimes I enjoy something much more than I expected.

Part of the fun of the club is to read something I might not have read, new horizons and all that. Part of it is that just knowing that I'm going to be discussing the book makes a difference in how I read it. I go more slowly, I take notes, I think about it more. Part of it is the insight other members bring, which adds to my enjoyment. Part of it is that I like to talk about books.
