Bulletin Boards - Thread: Savant's Book Club

After giving it some thought, and getting ideas from Haruspex, I have decided it would be a worthwhile project, for everyone, to start a book club on here.

I know that there are people of many different ages on here, and not all books will be appropriate for a younger audience, so I intend read any book before I recommend it here, and supply what age groups I think it would be appropriate for.

The plan would be to pick a book, give a specified time to read it, and then plan a chat event about it, as well as discussing it here in threads. Perhaps if we ever get savii contests up and running we could theme some around the books we read here.

The books I choose will be more literature than junk best sellers that will be forgotten in a few years. I'd like to have a large variety of books covering many topics.

I'm reading "All Quiet on the Western Front," by Erich Maria Remarque right now, and hope to use it as the first book, but I plan to finish it first and see what age groups it would be appropriate for.

Please feel free to post below what your favorite books are, or which you would like to see us cover. =)

1. Keeping You A Secret by Julie Anne Peters (geared towards mature teens, for mild sexual refrences)
2. A Child Called It by David Pelzer (all of that series would be good)

This sounds like a great idea! The only problem would be being able to find the book, there aren't many book stores or libraries where I live. The best book I've ever read was Thirteen Days to Midnight (kids 13+). It's a great book, the characters are believable, and it has a great plot with an interesting twist. It does have mild profanity though...
I've also fallen in love with the Avalon series by Rachel Roberts (kids 8+), The Goose Girl by Shannon Hale (good for all ages), and the Uglies series by Scott Westerfeld (kids 12+).

I think we should read Crunch Time or Dancing Through the Snow.

I promise you'll be disappointed.

I'm surprised nobody's mentioned The Book Thief. Also, Catch 22 is a good book from what I've read so far, if not inappropriate. ._.
