Move over Oprah. There’s a new Book Club in town.

But what I can’t understand is why anyone would join a book club started by an Insurance Company. Won’t that make for some rather dull, legalese-filled reading?

Or is it a book club focused on the defunct political party?

Or is it all about mass-produced Italian soup? So it’s a cookbook club! But only soups. Good niche. Go after those solid-food-only eaters/readers. (It is hereby announced that Authwhore is officially launching The Progresso Book Club. More details to follow.)

Or maybe, just maybe, The Progressive Book Club is actually taking the word “progressive” literally:

1.	favoring or advocating progress, change, improvement, or reform, as opposed to wishing to maintain things as they are, esp. in political matters: a progressive mayor.

2.	making progress toward better conditions; employing or advocating more enlightened or liberal ideas, new or experimental methods, etc.: a progressive community.

3.	characterized by such progress, or by continuous improvement.
