I am a part of a book group. The book I would love to discuss is the unabridged edition of Victor Hugo's Les Miserables. Because of its length, people shy away from it. The character development and storytelling that Hugo employed were exemplary. Thanks for asking.

I would love to discuss Envy by Sandra Brown.

My answer to that question is Fall on Your Knees. It is so tragic in every way with the Piper family, that it would really be fun to dissect this story in a book club!

Richard Peck's book This Family of Women. He is a children's author mainly, but his adult fiction has been overlooked. Try him…I think most will like him.

I recently read Anna Quindlen's Black and Blue and really wanted to talk about it with someone. I felt that it was a very powerful book and that there were some surprising, even disturbing, aspects about the ending that I wanted to discuss with others. My book club just finished White Oleander and decided to read something a little more "warm and fuzzy" for our next meeting (selection has not yet been made, since we won't meet again until January), so I don't think Black and Blue would be the right choice this time.

I have a few I'm dying to discuss:
Empire Falls by Richard Russo.
The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold (I didn't overly enjoy this book and I'm dying to know in a discussion format what other people felt about this hyped up book).
Pope Joan by Donna Woolfolk Cross.
The Guenevere Trilogy by Rosalind Miles.
Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West by Gregory Maguire.

I would love to discuss Les Miserables by Victor Hugo. It's one of the greatest books of all time. It has so many points, ideas and values to turn into a very rich discussion.

I would like some discussion on the fiction novel The Spire by William Gerald Golding.

Murder in Greenwich by Mark Fuhrman.

I just was enthralled by The Crimson Petal and the White by Michel Faber. Even though it was over 800 pages, it wasn't long enough for me. There were so many aspects of this book that made me wonder what others thought. I would find it thoroughly interesting to discuss this 19th century saga, in which so many events in so many lives occur. An excellent, original book.

Five Smooth Stones by Ann Fairbairn. My very favorite book ever!
