Fiction

However, I think that some of them just phone it in when they pick a book. They go by reviews or buzz or topic or subject matter, rather than carefully reading and choosing books that have literary merit or that would at least make for a good discussion (we are each supposed to submit three books at the beginning of the year, then we vote).

(As examples of "phoning it in" crap, I give you "All the Light We Cannot See", "The Book Thief", "In a Dark, Dark Wood", and "The Secret History". We're adults, fer Chrissake!)
