Watched a similar thing happen at a club I used to go to, except the pick was only 600 pages and people still tapped out by week two. The rule there was you could vote as long as you showed up, done, that was it. One guy hated every book we read and voted no on all of them and honestly nobody cared, because the group kept moving. Tying votes to finishing the book just turns reading into homework with a quiz at the end. Seriously, is a book club a job now? Let people show up, say their piece, and vote, even if they bailed on page 50.

Oh man, waiting for a clip channel to serve you drama on a platter is like ordering takeout when you used to hunt your own food. Half the thrill was refreshing that brand's page at 3am and feeling like a detective.

Totally feel you on that, those fake timers are everywhere now and they always get me too.
