New and Improved! Now with more actual reading!

It's time to start putting together the new version of the book group and first things first, we are going to need some suggestions for books to read.

In the past we have read:
The Red Tent: A Novel
Middlesex: A Novel
THE HISTORIAN A Novel by Elizabeth Kostova
Twilight Collector's Edition (The Twilight Saga)
The Book Thief
The Memory Keeper's Daughter
The Thirteenth Tale: A Novel

Not a bad list of books! This time we are going to alternate between a well-loved classic or re-read and something new to most every other month. So let's start thinking of books we may want to read.

Rules are simple for this book group. Just post in the comments when we announce the book (or any time after) and let us know that you are reading along. Then post in the comments on the discussion. We usually give a month's notice on the book and the discussion is left open indefinitely for more questions, opinions, comments, etc. See? No pressure to finish, bake brownies and show up at a meeting. (Although brownies are always welcome!)

I would also welcome volunteers to run the discussion especially on months when we are choosing a classic or favorite re-read.

Suggestions for books new or old? Leave 'em in the comments.

And while you're popping by, make sure to take a look at all the great reviews that are rolling in from the From the Stacks Challenge!
