[nesfa-reading-group] Next reads?

[David G. Grubbs]

I would like to suggest that "want to read" is not the criterion for
choosing a book. The criterion I'd like to use is "want to discuss".

If we use the algorithm of only choosing books none of us has read, then we
are guaranteed to choose only mediocre books because all the good ones will
already have been read by someone in the group.
