Appreciation post: Our club read a book I thought would be boring and it was the best talk we've had
Our group picked a 400-page historical novel about a lighthouse keeper in Maine. I groaned, thinking it would be slow. We spent two hours just on the main character's choices and whether he was a hero or a fool. The details about his daily logs made the debate feel real. Has your group ever been surprised by a book that looked dull on the cover?

Was the lighthouse keeper ultimately a hero or a fool in your group's vote?

Totally, we read a boring-looking gardening book and argued for hours.

Notice this happens all the time. The most plain looking stuff always starts the biggest debates.
