Alright, so....
1. Dune
2. Northern Lights
3. Contact (I've read it) ....I would recommend "The Dragons of Eden" by Sagan instead
4. Eragon (just kidding) ~vomits in mouth~
5. Kurt Vonnegut (which I would be totally down for)
6. Stephen King
I'd like some more input, but I think something that is a little deeper would lead to much more interesting discussion, which is the whole point of a book club. Plus I would like the book to be something that either no one has read, or something that people wouldn't mind reading over again.
I would suggest:
1. Kurt Vonnegut (anything)
2. "Burmese Days by George Orwell
3. The Transmigration of Timothy Archer by Phillip K. Dick
and actually I'm leaning towards 3....here is a synopsis:
It is the story of Timothy Archer, an urbane Episcopal bishop haunted by the suicides of his son and mistress--and driven by them into a bizarre quest for the identity of Christ.
Please, give us more suggestions! I could narrow it down to five from previous suggestions, and any other future suggestions. Then we could vote on those last five via a poll in another thread. (Or anais.jude and I could play President and Vice President, and unilaterally decide the future of the book club. Basically I could put all the power in my Vice-President's hands, and I could be her cheerleader.) So, give me more suggestions and tuesday night we will vote on five that stand out amongst the rest.
