Its my turn to pick for our work book club next month, and I'm stuck for ideas. So far we've had:
Stardust - Neil Gaiman
The Alchemist - Paulo Coelho
The Night Circus - Erin Morgenstern
The rules are no series eg Harry Potter, no 'war books' so All Quiet on the Western Front is out but books with war in are OK so Captain Correllis Manderlin would be fine.
The response to Stardust was poor, so I want to avoid anything that's been made into a film, as I was considering Fight Club, or Salmon Fishing in the Yemen, but have ruled them out on that basis.
I don't fancy anything too sad or emotional, but I quite like offbeat, quirky and/or unusual. My personal favorite authors at the moment are Douglas Adams, Douglas Copeland, chuck palahniuk, but don't want to end up too unusual either...
Any and all suggestions welcome!!!
