My book club in Phoenix imploded over 'Wuthering Heights'
We had a screaming match about whether Heathcliff is a romantic hero or just a terrible person. One member actually threw her copy across the room. Now we have a strict 'no gothic romance' rule for picks. Anyone else's group ever ban a whole genre?

Banning the whole genre seems a bit much, but @taylor82, at least your spy novel fight stayed on the table.

Throwing a book over Heathcliff is a new level of book club passion. My group in Tucson almost came to blows over whether a character in a spy novel was justified in betraying his country, but we kept the books on the table. Banning a whole genre seems like a pretty strong move after just one bad meeting. Maybe you could have just banned books about moody guys who hang out on moors.
