Our book club picked a 500 page sci-fi epic and only two people finished it before the meeting.
We voted on it last month and everyone seemed excited. The meeting was yesterday and it was just me and Sarah who had read the whole thing. The rest said they got lost in the world building around page 200. We spent the whole hour just trying to explain the plot instead of debating the themes. Has your group ever picked a book that was just too big for most people to finish in time? How do you handle it?

That sounds exactly like my last book club disaster.

Remember when my group tried to read that huge fantasy doorstop with the ten page family trees? We spent the whole meeting just listing character names on a whiteboard. Someone brought a flowchart they made, and we still argued about who was related to the dragon. Maybe next time we should just watch the movie and call it a day.
