Remember when book club picks were just paperbacks?

Our group tried to pick a book everyone could get for free through library apps. We spent 4 meetings arguing over formats, wait times, and if audiobooks 'count'. It took us 3 months to finally agree on a classic that was available everywhere. I miss just grabbing the same paperback off the shelf at the store. Has your club ever gotten stuck on logistics instead of the actual story?

Watched my group dissolve over ebook rights for a book set in the 90s. We spent weeks trying to find a version that wasn't geo-blocked for two members overseas. By the time we got access, nobody cared about the story anymore.

Ugh, modern licensing ruins everything, not just book clubs.

Licensing protects creators so they can keep making stuff we love.
