Book Club books
 
My book club recently read "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time," by Mark Haddon. Hard to describe, but worthwhile reading for a book discussion. Because I recognized the author's name, I then picked up "A Spot of Bother," by the same author at a garage sale. Different but possibly even better, I thought.

Has your group read "Defending Jacob?" Great for book clubs as well. Or how about "Loving Frank?"

I think the best book club books stimulate different opinions, or at least get us into some in-depth discussions of issues or life circumstances.

Daniel Silva's "Portrait of a Spy" I am reading the whole Gabriel Allon series in the order it was written. It is riveting to me.

Its a gripping story and an easy read other than the subject matter.

Just finished GoneGirl and enjoyed it very much. I am now reading "18 in America" by Dylan Dethier. It's about a young mans goal to play a round of golf in every one of the 48 states. Very enjoyable and very well written.

Under The Dome by Steven King. Good read and different from the TV series.

I'm reading a series of Detective books by J.D. Jance. She has three main Detectives; Sheriff Joanna Brady, Ali Reynolds and J.P. Beaumont. I've r ead the Brady and Beaumont series and am now reading about Ali Reynolds. Make sure you read the books in the order they were written, as the story lines and characters reappear.

I am almost finished with Smoke Jumper by Nicholas Evans. It is a fairly good book but I guess I lost interest since I skimmed a lot of pages.

Loved Horse Heaven by Jane Smiley so I ordered A Thousand Acres....much darker but also great.....am looking for the rest of her books. I also loved The Art of Racing in the Rain....am reading Prayers for Rain by Dennis LeHane and really enjoying it now...he's one of my favorites. I have three Randy Wayne White novels to read after that.
