It's lucky there are so many book/reading clubs because I find choosing one that suits can be very hit and miss. When the current fashion for book clubs everywhere began I chose by the type of books they read: miss. But I have found compatible groups, who aren't always the readers I might've expected, and I've found their discussion and reading recs have been very good for me. I wouldn't have Laurent Binet's Perspectives on my To Reads if it wasn't for my favourite book club because it's not something I'd choose for myself at all but I know I'll enjoy it.
