Last week, we asked you whether you belong to a book club. We were surprised. Nearly two-thirds of you either belong to a club or want to join. We didn't know our readers were so social!

38% don't belong to a book club but want to join. 27% aren't into book clubs. 20% are in book clubs that talk about books. 15% are in book clubs that talk about a lot of stuff, including books.
