However, that said and at the risk of being a buzzkill, as someone who was heavily involved in earlier book clubs I don't think there's traction for a book club now. There's a reason they're defunct. An informal buddy read might be successful.

And a final comment: I think most of us are set in our ways and aren't looking to find new genres. We know what we like. The scifi/fantasy club will have to get along without me.

As I said, buzzkill. But have at it, if you'd like, and good luck. I'd like to be proved wrong.

If the reason those threads aren't alive is the post Covid compartmentalization, having it may be mandatory .
Never heard of buddy readings, by the descriptions I'd found seems interesting too.
The meaning isn't to read the best book ever, but having and sharing other's opinions, and points of views.
Thanks for the answer, btw .

Edit: I was even to propose it as something like: https://github.com/archclassroom
https://github.com/archclassroom/starter
but I guess IRC is quite empty (and specially you mods may already have a lot of job yet).
