Drunken Book Club: Book Suggestions

[lemondrop]

So, we already have our classics book club going but now we should get our drunken book club going.

I think we should pick a night about a month out and a nice, fun book to read.

Suggestions?

[angnshaun]

All of my book clubs are drunken book clubs... well not now on stims for IVF but usually they are lol...
im up for whatever

[bluelikejazz]

Hmm... I think it should probably be an easier read, possibly even a YA. Maybe something like Lord of the Flies?

[PinkSquirrel]

Ahh drinking and reading, my favorite things. I'll go poke around and see if I can find some books to suggest.

[amyb2332]

What about one of the books suggested in the humor thread? That might lend itself to drunk posting.

I like this idea! I can only imagine how crazy that thread will get!

Oh that sounds good.

Jen Lancaster's new book just came out and she's always pretty funny

Here are two Goodreads Humor lists. One is memoirs/nonfiction and one is a mixture. It make gives us some ideas.

I wouldn't mind reading something by David Sedaris. I've heard he's hysterical, but have never read any of his stuff. I'm also pretty game for whatever

[bluelikejazz]

Ditto David Sedaris! That would be pretty amazing drunk book club talk!

[angnshaun]

David Sedaris is good for me too... HEs been on my TBR for a while now...

[amyb2332]

David Sedaris is good with me. I've never read anything by him and I've always meant to.

[harmony11]

Books and drinking. Even yesser.

[lemondrop]

David Sedaris is a great suggestion. I'm open to any humor books.

[chicacocodrilo]

Ditto on my book club also being a drunken one.

But anyway, I like the Sedaris suggestion--I've never read anything by him and feel like I should have!

[msmerymac]

A Chelsea Handler book. My Horizontal Life or Are You There Vodka? It's Me, Chelsea.

[ChillyMcFreeze]

Ditto the Jen Lancaster suggestion. Really, anything funny will do.

I wouldn't want to read an erotica book for a discussion even if it's anonymous. I'm a bit too prudish for that.

[Nerd Alert]

Count me in for this. I like the suggestion of a humorous book as I've never read any of the ones mentioned above, except Jenn Lancaster.

When will the date be decided upon?

I think we should pick a date about a month out by or on Monday.

Like the third Monday (or whatever day we choose). That would be about a month from now.

This looks good to me. Keeping it on the same date each month will also make it easier in July. We'd just have to pick a book.

For those of you who have suggested authors, what book(s) by that author would you like to read?

[PinkSquirrel]

I can't do Mondays (pottery), but the third Tuesday would work for me

[DarcyLongfellow]

I'd be up for whatever other people vote on.

One book I've been meaning to read is Tina Fey's Bossypants.

[lemondrop]

Here are my suggestions:

Bossy Pants by Tina Fey
Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me by Mindy Kaling
Barrel Fever, Naked, Me Talk Pretty One Day or Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim by David Sedaris

[nova726]

I love the idea of doing a funny book!

I just can't stand Lancaster's books, so I beg you not to pick one of hers.
