PiCO Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Hi, Ladies- I am looking for a book for my book club for next month. Needs to be not too long (only 3 weeks between meetings- so not over 600 pages probably.) I want something that will have a lot of stuff to talk about, that we won't agree on. (Makes for more interesting conversation.) My group is a mix of Christians, theists and atheists. Books with religious undertones are OK, as long as they are well written and a good story. Thanks!

Danestress Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 The Monster of Florence by Douglas Preson is interesting and of fairly wide interest. It's about a famous serial murder case in Florence - as of yet unsolved. But the really interesting part isn't the murders - it's the way the case was handled in the press, the prosecutors, the personal ambitions of everyone involved in the case. Good read, easy read. Peace Like a River by Leif Enger The Zookeeper's Wife by Diane Ackerman (we are reading this for February) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaxMom Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 The Year of Living Biblically Loved that one! And it would make for excellent discussion in a mixed group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PiCO Posted February 19, 2009 Author Share Posted February 19, 2009 Thanks for the suggestions and resources! All the books sound so good, I might just have to read them all myself ;). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
