Before 2009 the book club was just a general discussion of what people were reading and a place for listeners to recommend books to each other.
From February 2009 the book club was transformed into a group where one title is selected per month with the intention of the author being asked listeners questions that have been posed via the blog during the last Friday show of the month.
