^You are right about this but I have to add that the average high schooler would never consider joining a book club either, and very few would join a political book club with assigned reading list.



Average hs students are actually not that reluctant to join book clubs. I went to a book club meeting at the local library and there were a lot of kids there. Of course, the reading assignments were not Shakespeare, they were teen novels (YUCK). Teen novels are trashy, badly written books with pretty covers. So it depends on what the focus of the book club is. If it’s to read Twilight, (sadly) expect a huge response. If it’s to read Atlas Shrugged, don’t expect such a good turnout.
