Definitely expand your horizons. I have read two books that I would not have chosen and they have gone straight to my top ten! Also, I have delved into genres I would be too scared to go on my own, Science Fiction, for example.
I think it is also a great way to learn about the people in your club. Some interesting stories emerge when discussing the books and even who picks what is interesting. Being in a book club has also meant I just generally read more.

Having just read the article :) I have to agree with the writer in that book clubs can become an arena where literature is chosen purely for its "book club worthiness". I applaud Jonathan Franzen for his stance against being part of the Oprah book club phenomenon (although he too has had a few not so nice words to say about book clubs and female ... Read Morereaders!). I think the Oprah book club is an excellent example of what the Ellis is talking about.
I also agree that books can become 'symbolic of personal identity', but isn't that why we join them in the first place? So that we can argue our point against friends with good humour?
I think we need to hear more stories about book clubs gone wrong... now that would make for an interesting read.
