Sunday Brunch

Hey Ladies! Spring semester is quickly coming to a close, and I'd like to invite everyone over to my place for a Sunday brunch. It would give us a a chance to chat about the book list, set up the schedule, and most importantly, chow down on some midday hors d'oevres ! How do you feel about Sunday, May 2nd or 9th around noon?

Carl can totally be part of our book club...

EDIT: Sunday, the 9th of May looks like it is working for other folks. Let me know if it works for you!

So what do you think about biographies?

Lately, I have had the desire to review US history, because I seriously cannot remember any of it (because I hated history as a child).  So I'm throwing this out there just as a suggestion, and granted I know that biographies are not 'history' per se, but close enough, LOL! I would love to read one of the biographies on Abraham Lincoln.

Secondly, I never read The Three Musketeers or The Bell Jar, and I would love to throw some classics in the mix with Pride and Prejudice. 

Summertime and I'm Feeling Fine

Gals, it's nearly time for our summer book club, and we already have some excellent recommendations. Here's some we've chatted about so far:

Olive Kittredge
Pride and Prejudice
Pride and Prejudice and Zombies
Memoirs of a Geisha
My Life in France
Autobiography of a Recovering Skinhead
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
Bury my Heart at Wounded Knee
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
Why I Hate Saturn
Sunshine
The Know It All
Kite Runner
Orlando
The Three Musketeers
Summertime
The Little Stranger
Wolf Hall

Let me know if I'm missing any or if you thought of something new (B.W., toss me some ideas!). I'll keep updating the list as we go. We should be able to start putting together the schedule and reading list soon!

K.S. also had an excellent idea for reading a beloved childhood book. Several ideas have been mentioned:

Dicey's Song
The Dark Rising
Winter of Magic's Return
Nancy Drew
Charlotte's Web
Percy Jackson series
Adventures of Captain Underpants
Watership Down
Wizard of Earthsea series
Through the Hidden Door
Summer of Monkeys
Matilda
A Wrinkle in Time
The Fantastic Mr. Fox

...and probably many others. Let me know if you have a favorite childhood book and I'll add it to the list of choices!
