Should Book Club book choices always be what you would like to read?

I think that we are fortunate in our book club that we are all good friends as I think this influences the choice of books that we make. It means that we have some ideas in common, often one of us will suggest a title and a couple of other people will immediately agree that it is a book they would like to read. However the most valuable thing is that if someone really wants to read a title then we will agree even if it doesn't appeal because of friendship aswell as the spirit of the group. In the same way if anyone really doesn't want to read a particular title then that's ok - there's not an obligation. However we did decide that one of our aims was to try and read books that we wouldn't otherwise read - I suppose out of our usual comfort zone for one reason or another. Despite being close friends with lots in common especially children we have a wide range of reading interests. So we try to mix classics with new releases, old favourites with cheery quick reads and books we think we ought to read. This has worked well nearly always even when we read To the Lighthouse and decided we didn't need to read anymore Virginia Woolf. This months choice includes Money by Martin Amis as although no one is looking forward to it, we feel we should read it. To balance it up we're also reading The Tent, the Bucket and Me by Emma Kennedy.
