They poke fun at the whole idea of such questions while still being really funny for people who read the book. Since at least two of the three people (I don't know about Manfredi) have written those type of questions for their own books maybe they were just taken aback at having something they wrote be called insipid? All the writers I know who've ever been selected for any book club are thrilled because it means a certain number of people will buy--and hopefully read--the book.
