book club

I want to have book club. We can choose a book, choose a date to have dinner/wine/dress up/ dont dress up/ go somewhere new/ go to the broasis and chat about some lit-tree-ture. Yeah?
My friend Patrick is reading a book called King Warrior Magician Lover: rediscovering the archetypes of the mature masculine for his "man club." I thought it would be fun to read some "girl-power" or nice thought-provoking book. This is a call for suggestions, although I'll throw out a few ideas.

First, they had a section on summer reading on NPR the other day:

I thought the 2nd one, The Believers, sounded interesting.

I have read a few Annie Dillard books and think that she is incredibly wise. I have always wanted to read Teaching a Stone to Talk: Expeditions and Encounters (http://www.amazon.com/Teaching-Stone-Talk-Expeditions-Encounters/dp/0060915412/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1277062934&sr=1-1#reader_0060915412), so I would love to read that with you people, but will read it on my own if ya'll aren't feeling it.

Or, an adventure/ journey: The Lost Cyclist:

I may of may not have googled "womens book clubs." anyway. yall can read these book reviews if you're into that.

-Cloudstreet. http://www.amazon.com/Cloudstreet-Novel-Tim-Winton/dp/0743234413

Of course, I'd always be down for an older book we can get on half.com! (This Side of Paradise, F. Scott Fitzerald?)

SO--does this sound fun to anyone? (even you far-away folks...you could be like satellite book club. and of course friends could do it too) AND does anyone have any books that are calling to them?
