2015 Categories Discussion
It's time to start thinking about which categories we'd like for 2015. If there are no objections, we'll be starting the selection process around the 1st of July.

I found the last process to tedious. I suggest a poll first: 1) use the current categories, 2) use the previous categories, 3) go through a full selection process. |

John — here's an idea: how about you take the lead in deciding what the 2015 categories will be? You can poll or whatever else you want to do. |

What if we made a list of all possible categories, then eliminate those categories that we've had in the last year, and then vote on the rest? Maybe if we had 24 or 36 total categories we could just rotate through them every 2-3 years?

I say we do nothing right now, if there is enough of a consenses that we should do something, we do it in september, when everyone is back from summer break. At a minimum, a little more discusion seems necessary. |

As something to chew on in the mean time, I would like a poll with the current categories listed and have everyone vote on their three favorite categories and replace the bottom 2-4 with new selections. That should help us keep the ones we like and reduce the number of new categories we need to come up with. Sort of a compromise between full category selections and status quo. |

I think interest in the club has decreased due to what some people have perceived as this club becoming Literary Club Lite. New categories would hopefully spark new interest. Can this discussion be moved to its own thread so everybody will see it and can participate. |

Perhaps alternating between fiction and non fiction and a different genre of fiction each time? For example:
* Jan-Fiction * Feb-Non Fiction etc. And something like: *Jan-Mystery *March-Sci Fi *May-Romance etc. for the fiction months. And having it be open to any topic under non-fiction on those months that are non-fiction months. |
