• Have you guys read These is My Words by Nancy E Turner? Thanks to M&M, and others, I have read the first two in this trilogy and will be starting the third as soon as I finish the book I'm reading now. Wonderful story, wonderful characters, and there are even some discussion questions in the back of the book. About as far removed from vampires as you can get *g* (NT) -- MiladyM, 04:45:41 08/17/09 Mon

• Loving Frank by Nancy Horan. Sure to start some discussions particularly if there are mothers in the group. I think that there is a thematic comparison to Outlander (theme of true love & how far would you go for it). (NT) -- Cristina H, 05:19:01 08/17/09 Mon

• You could try either of my two recs (below); currently, I'm reading Bibi Gaston's "The Lovliest Woman In America" and Julia Child's "My Life In France". I am loving both of them. The Gaston book is turning out to be as good as I had hoped. If your group is not averse to non-fiction, these are page turners. There is a huge amount of stuff to discuss in all these books --they aren't trashy tell-alls, by any means. (NT) -- Lemora, 12:15:13 08/17/09 Mon

• What did you think of Shantaram? I started it and loved it, but now I'm stuck in the middle and just can't force myself to read the rest. Is it worth it? (NT) -- AngieC, 18:02:10 08/18/09 Tue
  • Angie, I was like you - loved it at the start, but then lost interest and never finished it! 8 of the 10 people in my reading group didn't finish it either! (NT) -- SueP, 12:44:05 08/21/09 Fri

• I love These is My Words, but maybe even a better Book Club Book (not story really ) is A Thousand White Women. Don't remember the author (NT) -- Conmama, 10:01:03 08/19/09 Wed
