But Ishmael! What is a book club!

The entire point of a book club is that we all read a book and then discuss it together at a joint meeting.

Book Selection

Anybody who read the book for the last month may submit a book that has not yet been read by the club, then among all active members (has attended a meeting within the last 3 months) shall vote on which book we will read for the next month

FIRST BOOK SELECTION

Any person who is interested may submit a book and we will hold a straight up/down vote amongst them all. The book with the most up votes will be selected

Meeting scheduling

TBD
