At the first book club meeting, I brought a list of books suggested by my Mom, who is also in a book club. Here is what she suggested for books that lend themselves to great discussions:
The Space Between Us by Thrity Umrigar,
Memory Keeper’s Daughter by Kim Edwards,
A thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini,
We Were The Mulvaneys by Joyce Carol Oaks.
They've also done some other good ones like #1 Ladies Detective Agency, Glass Castles, Joy Luck Club, Midwive by Bojahlian, Plain Truth, Poisonwood Bible, Pope Joan (this month's book!), To Kill a Mockingbird, and Water for Elephants. They've also done classics like Great Expectations, Pride and Prejudice, and The Screwtape Letters. If you need more info on any of these (like, uh, the author's name on some of these), I can find that out.
