Book Club People

[charley]

What are you reading now or what has been one of your favorites?

It's my turn to pick and I'm blanking. Doesn't have to have discussion notes, I can make up some questions if needed. Any genre is fine!

An old book, but loved the conversation generated by The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy.

My favorite books from the last few years are Life After Life by Kate Atkinson and Constellation of Vital Phenomenon by Anthony Marra. Both would be discussion worthy.

My book club has some odd choices, but books that we have generally enjoyed reading and discussing are:
Tell the Wolves I'm Home
Persepolis (graphic novel)
To Kill a Mockingbird
Gone Girl
The Help
Room
The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks

We are reading The Girl on the Train right now. I really enjoyed it.

We just read Reconstructing Amelia which since it's a Mom book club made for a really good discussion.
We've also done All the light We Can Not See which was good.
We're doing The Nightingale next but I haven't started it yet

My old book club was really more a "drink wine and gossip because no one actually read the book" club, but the one book we all did read was Are You There God, It's Me Margaret (yes, the kids book by Judy Blume) and it actually had a great discussion.  We also had a bit of success (like 50% read it) with Memoirs of a Geisha and The Secret Life of Bees.

I'm probably going to a new book club later this month/early next month, and the book is All the Light We Cannot See, which was excellent and sure to have a good discussion.

This is my favourite book of all time - it's so sad and beautiful and thoughtful.
