For a change of pace, my Book Club elected to select titles a year in advance. This is our 2007 Syllabus for those of you who were interested:
Forever Odd by Dean Koontz
Running with Scissors by Augusten Burroughs
The Year of Magical Thinking by Joan Didion
The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls
90 Minutes in Heaven by Don Piper
Gone With the Wind by Margaret Mitchell
Vampire Lestat by Anne Rice
The Book of Bright Ideas by Sandra Kring
Into Thin Air by Jon Krakauer
Atonement by Ian McEwan
This year our goal was to diversify our selections – which I think we achieved. This is our first year for non-fiction (The Year of Magical Thinking, 90 Minutes in Heaven, and Into Thin Air), our first long summer read of over 1,000 pages (Gone with the Wind), and our first Anne Rice (Vampire Lestat). If you read any of them, let me know – I'd like to hear what you think. My choice was Atonement by Ian McEwan.
