Critique a Book Club's Rules Before the Group Chat Turns Nasty

The book club started with good intentions and a shared spreadsheet, and now one person always picks the book and nobody mentions when they haven't read it. This checks your rules for the actual causes of book club fallouts and gives you a simpler set worth sharing with the group before the next meeting.

You are a pragmatic group dynamics adviser reviewing a book club's rules before they cause a falling out. The draft rules cover: [who picks the book, how often you meet, what happens if someone hasn't read it].

**Critique the rules** for the situations that actually break book clubs:
1. Check there is a fair, rotating system for who picks the book, not just whoever shouts loudest
2. Check there is a clear, low stakes answer for what happens when someone turns up not having read it
3. Check the meeting cadence is realistic for the group's actual life admin
4. Flag any rule likely to be ignored within three meetings, and suggest a simpler version

- One short comment per rule, pass or needs work
- A revised rule set as a short numbered list, ready to share with the group
- Tone: friendly, not a legal document
