OK, with a purposefully chosen incendiary title (albeit one meant to generate a positive number of thoughts and comments), let's proceed and try to have some thoughts on why the
BOOK CLUB is currently in a somewhat moribund state.
Disclosure: I really never participated in the discussions over there. For me, it seemed way too complicated and involved - and too drawn out. Too, with some exceptions, the choice of titles suggested/chosen didn't particularly interest me. It's difficult to fully explain, but I was always interested in the other forums. Too, my 'duties' at Mobileread (interpret that as you will) were more involved in other areas, so I prioritized other discussions and events rather than get involved in the
BOOK CLUB. I also realize that my choice of books does not really align with the majority of members. As you can see, there were a multiplicity of reasons,
Mobileread has hundreds (if not thousands of people who read), so why doesn't a website that includes the concept of reading have a moribund sub-forum with a limited number of contributors? Look at the latest few posts made in any number of threads:
I know for a fact that a number of people worked hard to invigorate the
BOOK CLUB and to make it a viable option at Mobileread.
Thank you to those members and Moderators who contributed their time and energy.
A discussion such as this may help revive this sub-forum that is beloved by a few members and Moderators.
To be clear: The BOOK CLUB is NOT dead.
