I've been in a book club since 2014. These are the books we've read.

I've been in a book club since 2014, along with my girlfriend (now wife) and two other couples that we've known since we were in university. Along the way we've gone through many changes - members of our book club have changed jobs, gotten married, had kids, etc. - but we've consistently found the time to meet every 4-6 weeks and discuss our latest book.

In our system, everyone takes a turn to set a book for everyone else to read. There's no voting and no vetoes; it's completely up to that person. The advantage of this system is that everyone has to go outside their comfort zone, and read books from genres they wouldn't ordinarily read. The disadvantage is that sometimes you have to push through a book that you really don't enjoy - but even then, we find that everyone tends to learn something, or at least get some interesting ideas from the book.

Anyway, these are books we've read over the years:
