I have a friend who said he was in a book club and that he was the only guy in the club. I think how it works is they vote on a book and everybody reads it. Then they meet together and discuss. I think the cool thing now is that with the Internet people in completely different locations and parts of the world can be in a club, and still get together online and talk about the book. Ever join a book club? I have never joined a book club. I did join a music club so I could buy music at discounted prices. But never a book club.
OnlineBookClub.org is an awesome site for readers. We have international book discussions, virtual bookshelves to track what you have read, original book reviews and much more!

I've never joined a book club either and I wouldn't want to. I was part of a CD club to buy music, but that didn't last too long. Technically it was a gift from my grandmother back when I was a teenager. Anyway, the book club idea seems grand but I would feel pressured into finishing the book in a given amount of time and what if I just didn't like it? There might be several books that I just didn't like, ya know? Oh well.I will sometimes discuss books I've read here and I try to get others to discuss books they've read here as well.

I joined a book club in the past and it has been a very bad idea. You had to buy 3 books a month from their "choice" and I hardly was able to find one title that I liked.

I'd never thought about an online book club. That could be a lot of fun.

@cmoneyspinner I have been a member of both a book club and a music club. The book club started to annoy me when they began to send unsolicited books to my home; not just one or two but several every week! I soon left that club. The music club was more successful. I only got what I requested and otherwise they didn't bother me at all.
