Last night I stopped by the central library in Brooklyn. It's a nice walk from there to my apartment.
While strolling past Soda (the bar) I realized that it might be fun to go hang out on the back patio and have a book club meeting with friends. But it should be a book club meeting for books that no one in the group has actually read!

Let's be serious, a good percentage of book clubs are just about getting together for drinking and socializing. A book club should also have a central theme. While wondering what that theme could be I remembered wandering around the non-fiction section of the library.

What if an hour before the book club meeting everyone attending was assigned three random digits. Attendees would then take those numbers to the library and pick out an appropriate non-fiction book with a semi-corresponding call number (the three digit number can be put in any order the book club member chooses).

Once the books are selected, folks assemble for talking about the books they've selected. Fun, right?
