I have no problem with reading books that are fun, but we should probably state that somewhere if it is our goal. For instance some of the books nominated this month could be labelled "tear-jerkers" so not what I would consider fun. I would have assumed the goal is to read books that are "good" so maybe we should start with a definition of the Book Club's intention.
