Hot take: I picked 'The Overstory' for our club over 'Project Hail Mary' and the debate got so heated we had to extend the meeting by an hour.

I argued that the environmental themes in Powers' novel were more urgent for discussion, but half the group really wanted the sci-fi fun of Weir's book, so have you ever had a vote split your club that badly?

Sci-fi can tackle big ideas while still being a fun read.

Wait, you can actually enjoy reading those books? The last one I tried had like three pages describing a spaceship's engine and I fell asleep. Maybe it's just me but that's not fun at all.

Was the book club meeting or a cage match? Sounds like you needed popcorn for that show.
