Why don't you try reading for the enjoyment? Forget what books are considered great, just get to a book store or a library, open any book that catches your attention, try to read a few lines, read the description on the cover and see if the plot catches your attention.

No, it wouldn't be weird. I've seen people do that and sometimes I did so myself. Our book club has grown considerably and each meeting is attended by 20+ people. At this point most of the talk is done about personal news and especially children, though (I have nothing to contribute) and not so much about books, unfortunately.
