I would not join any book club that has a lot of restrictions and/or that has recurring votes on each potential selection. With New Leaf, I spent a lot of time every month trying to find books to nominate, only to have them run into geographical restrictions, be considered too expensive, or otherwise garner little interest; I don't want to expend energy doing that again.
Classics are the only books I would even consider for a group discussion, because at least I can feel a sense of accomplishment that I got through some well-known doorstopper.
