I think the book club is a great idea and I appreciate your suggestions and trying to organize it. Sorry to sound like a wet blanket. Bad Trixie!

I honestly don't believe GFY could ruin The Plague, no matter how hard it tried
I see your point though. I know that under the right situations, a book like that could really lead to a good discussion on GFY, but with a bit of bad luck it could just as well go awfully wrong. It would probably be a bit of a hit and miss situation.
Still, the fact that it's one of the greatest works in 20th century literature yet a very easy read could make it perfect for a broad audience that is interested in literature.
