PSA: I forced my book club to read a 900 page classic and it backfired big time.
Last month I picked 'Moby-Dick' for our group, thinking we'd have deep talks about obsession. Instead, after three meetings, only two of us had finished it. The rest just skimmed the whale facts and gave up. I learned that length can kill discussion if people don't commit. Has your club ever picked a book that was just too much for most people?
