Please post any suggestions and requests for our book club. Title, author, and genre. We will use this list to choose our upcoming read along books. Please note that we will likely not read every book on the list, and we will not choose them based on their position in the list. Any book is fair game; however, the crew reserves the right to veto a book suggestion to prevent things like Twilight from being added to the list. If a book is vetoed, we WILL tell you why. You are welcome to post books that you've read and would like to read again with some great discussion, or books you've always wanted to read but haven't gotten to yet.

I got halfway through American Gods during my last deployment when my B&N account glitched and I lost the book. I'd like to finish it.
As for classics, please feel free to add any that you'd like if you think we can get a good discussion out of it. I have a few classics on my shelf that I'm thinking of adding because I've never gotten around to reading them on my own.
Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte (Gothic Romance, Fiction, Brit Lit) Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen (Fiction, Brit Lit) LOTR by J.R.R Tolkien (Scifi/Fantasy) The Great Gatsby by F.Scott Fitsgerald (Fiction) Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman (Scifi/Fantasy)
I think any of these would be open to great discussions. smile

I listed the few I thought would be great for discussion. Not only with what characters represent, but the symbolism for the meanings behind stuff, etc.
(Im a classic junkie. Though I do recommend never putting Les Miserables on the reading list because that took me 6 months to listen to a 52 hour audio book. D: It is a feat Im rather proud of.)

I'm a classics fan myself, though I haven't read nearly as many as I'd like to. I always put off reading them, but when I finally get to them I always enjoy them.

►►I would love to do LOTR, The Great Gatsby and Neverwhere!
Can we do them all, Lioness? Please please please? XD
I love LOTR... will never get tired of discussing its many facets. I have read the Great Gatsby for school but never did a discussion on it which I think would be fun and I've wanted to read Neverwhere for a while and just haven't gotten around to it. ◄◄

I have absolutely no qualms about reading any of those. Gatsby is one of the few books we had to read in high school that I remember enjoying when I had to read it. Most of the other assigned readings I hated just because they were assigned. I've never actually read LOTR, but it's been on my to-read list forever, and I love Neil Gaiman so anything by him is definitely fair game.

►►That may need to happen. I know at least 4 of us that would love to do so. So much to discuss with such an epic adventure and work of descriptive literature. =3◄◄
