Our book club almost broke up over 'Wuthering Heights' last month

We had a meeting in early March where two members got into a real fight about whether Heathcliff is a tragic hero or just a bad guy. One person said he's a victim of his time, and the other yelled, 'He's a monster, full stop!' It got so heated that our usual host had to step in and change the topic to the weather. Has your group ever had a book that nearly ended the club?

Oh man, my buddy's sci-fi group almost imploded over the ending of "The Three-Body Problem." They were yelling about the physics being wrong for like an hour, lol.

My friend's book club had a similar meltdown over the ending of "Project Hail Mary." Two people got into a screaming match about whether the science behind the alien biology was even possible, and one guy almost threw his copy across the room. They had to take a ten minute break to cool off. It was wild.

Our group just agreed to disagree and moved on to the next book.
