No offence taken.
This being a book club we (or some like myself, anyway
) tend to dissect the books a bit more than we might in general reviews. For me a club discussion is not just about whether each person thought it was good or bad (we can get a lot of that from the "what are you reading" thread), but to see what it was that stood out to other readers. And to discuss what we found interesting about the book, for whatever reason - like your earlier observation about
Tarzan of the Apes as speculative fiction. In short: to see and try and understand other perspectives of a book. It's what I like about the club and makes even those selections I did not enjoy directly worth reading.
