Book Club

I am currently reading The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd, for my book club. Other books we've read this year are:

Lilith by George MacDonald
Haroun and the Sea of Stories by Salman Rushdie
A Walk in the Woods by Bill Bryson
My Name is Asher Lev by Chaim Potok
The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini

It will be my turn to pick a book soon. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Have you read The Penitent, by Isaac Bashevis Singer? Or some P. G. Wodehouse for sheer looniness and frivolous hilarity?

Erin - Or what about Walker Percy? The Moviegoer? Lancelot? Lost in the Cosmos? All very insight, funny, sad books.

I recently enjoyed The Poisonwood Bible.

Thanks honey! I assume we have all these books, somewhere in the depths of our basement? ;)

Hey Deliverance! Thanks for the recommendation! I have read The Poisonwood Bible, but years ago! I think that would definitely be a good book club pick.
