Our book club's vibe totally shifted after we ditched the 'leader picks the book' rule

For two years, our meetings were polite but dull, with maybe two people talking. We switched to a rotating host who picks three options for a vote, and suddenly last month's debate about 'Demon Copperhead' got so heated someone almost left. Has your group ever changed a rule that completely altered the dynamic?

My buddy's group switched to a dessert vote and suddenly people actually showed up.

That heated debate sounds like a GOOD problem to have.

Hmm, I have to disagree there. A heated debate usually means people are getting upset and not listening. That just shuts down real talk. I've seen it ruin a good team meeting more than once.
