Fear of Flying Erica Jong and Tropic Cancer/ Capricorn by Henry MillerNovel suggestions for a university book club to study?
Lion of macedon or dark prince by david gemmell.



The first book is a great read. The story is strictly Gemmell's, however, It has an ample amount of history packed in it that you can study.



The second book boarders fantasy and is the sequel to Lion of macedon. It focuses mainly on Alexander the great. It too, has history within its pages.Novel suggestions for a university book club to study?
