Half my book club walked out after I picked a 900-page novel
I chose 'The Overstory' for our March meetup at a coffee shop in Portland, thinking the environmental angle would spark good talk. Three members left within 50 pages, and the rest spent the whole meeting complaining about the pacing instead of discussing the themes. Has anyone else had a pick blow up like that?

Why pick a book that long when half the group can't commit to finishing it?
