Yes, I'd be interested in at least science fiction, fantasy, and romance. Possibly other genres as well, depending on the selection.
If all voters are expected to read the selected book, I'm not going to vote, but will keep looking at the selections every now and then to see if I'm tempted to join the discussion. If I can vote and opt out of reading if the chosen book doesn't tempt me, I'll try to vote as well (when the genre/topic interests me).
I like the idea of more than one book club, or a less formal, ad hoc buddy-reading thing. For instance, someone starts a thread saying
"I'm in the mood for space opera, here are some suggestions, anyone wants to join me for any of these titles[list of books] or have other suggestions?" and then a bit of discussion and a poll.
I'd also like to sometimes try shorter works to reduce the effort, novellas or even short stories.
