The Blue Bottle Club by Penelope Stokes

Emily Ever After by Ann Dayton

the cold six thousand by James EllroySuggestions for a book for our book club please?
On The Road, Jack Kerouac.



The Art of Happiness, The Dhali Lama



There are more, but those two come to mind right away.
One book I read that really engaged me was completely different to anything I've read before- "The Time Travellers Wife" by Audrey Niffeneger (I think I've spelled her name wrong). The edition I purchased had book club questions and discussion guides in the back (I think it was from the Virago Modern Classics range).

I know some groups let each member choose a book for each time they meet- that way you get to read some titles you may never have even picked up before.
Too difficult to choose one, how about a selection:



Ian McEwan - Saturday - Fiction

Peter F. Hamilton - Night's Dawn trilogy - Science Fiction

David Gemmell - Legend series - Fantasy

Bill Bryson - Mother Tongue - Non-fiction

Ian Banks - Dead Air - Fiction

Margaret Atwood - Oryx and Crake - Fiction

Ernest Hemmingway - For Whom the Bell Tolls - Classic fiction



Too many to choose from but I hope you enjoy them!
Filth, a good book and has plenty to talk about, although is hard to read if you're not fluent in Scottish.
Mr. Bostons bartenders guide?
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time.

By Mark Haddon.

Exceptional by any standards,a brilliant read.
Gap Creek

Murder on the rails

Gift from my Son by Keli Lindelien

Cane River by Lalita Tademy
"The Ethical Slut" A guide to infinite sexual possibilities.

by Dossie Easton and Catherine A Liszt



The 4 stars spell out S.L.U.T
Bright and breezy?

No1 Ladies Detectives Agency - Alexander McCall



Deep and meaningful?

1984 - George Orwell
Random Family

Shes come undone

blindness
Anything from here - http://greenerypress.com/ - should make for interesting reading and conversation.
To kill a mockingbird or The catcher in the Rye
To me, I think the book called "The World is Flat" is pretty interesting book and also the book called "Nickel and Dimed On (Not) Getting By In America" By: Barbara Ehrenreich. Sorry I forgot what the author of the other book is. I recommend these two books because I think you could have a good discuss on these books.
How about the Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown? Trust me, you can talk and talk and talk about it.

It's good to start off with some classics... maybe some books by the Brontes or even my personal favorites, books by Jane Austen. I think the classics are really good for a start (you knowm stuff like Wuthering Heights, Gone With the Wind, Emma, P %26amp; P ....) and then you can move to all the other stuff.

Oh, and I just remembered... you could try Paulo Coelho's books. People have really different points of views on his books so it would be nice to discuss them.
A Boy's Life by Robert McCammon



Very poignant
How about any of the books by Shiela O'Flanagan, John Mortimer, Miss Read.



If you read any of Dan Brown's books, AVOID 'The Divinci Code' it is absolute rubbish. At the moment I am reading his 'Angels And Demons', that is good.
Summer Sisters is a great book!
The Ardly Effect by Mitis Green - amazon.co.uk

Steppenwolf by H Hesse

Elective affinities by Goethe
men are from mars and women are from Venus. its a good book to read to find out what the other half think.
"Satanic Verses" by Rushdie , "Good Grief" by L. Winston, "She's Come Undone" by Wally Lamb, Anne Rice novels, John Saul novels as well as Dean Koontz or Robin Cook or "Fall on Your Knees" A.M. Macdonald....
Wish I knew what your age group included, and also what gender .. but presume you are all adult ladies.

So -

Sue Monk Kidd ("The Secret Life of Bees" and "The Mermaid Chair")

Alice Walker ("The Temple Of My Familiar" and "The Colour Purple".)

Rohinton Mistry ("A Fine Balance").

Janet Evanovich: (Any or all of the Stephanie Plum series).

Alexander McCall Smith ("The No.1 Ladies Detective Agency" and all the sequels.)
the dog in the midnight - about a little boy who has autism and solves a mystery in his own disjointed way! (its told from his perspective) it won several awards when it was released and i would seriously reccommend it.
tory haden writes true storys and they r an excellent read also david pezler - a boy called it is a book that u cant put down when u start it.
"The Thorn Birds" is a wonderful book. So is "East of Eden" (although it is very lengthy).



A great twin-set of reading is Sidney Sheldon's "The Other Side of Midnight" and its sequel "Memories of Midnight." These two books are utter page-turners and impossible to put down! You will love them.
Why not read an unpublished work?



I have one which could make your hair curl, have you rolling around laughing and crying like a baby at the end.
Anything by Douglas Adams. They may not be intellectual but they are Witty and a damn good read.
anything by nikos kazantzakis. it'll get u thinking.

best bet: "the last temptation of christ" -Da Vinci code

is nothing to it
