Here are my book club's rejections. "Rejections" is an unfortunate word choice here because these books certainly are not less interesting. There were many reasons why they weren't chosen: maybe we had too much history, too many had already read it, the book was too difficult for our public library to get for us, etc.. There are many, many reasons. Here's the list. I've already read seven of them and plan to read the others, as time allows. If you're interested, here's the "chosen" list."
