Here is my List:

No Country For Old Men by Cormac McCarthy.
McCarthy is one of the world's best living writers. I think this is his most engaging story and would give us plenty to take about. Its was recently made into a movie.

The Unheard, a memoir of deafness and Africa by Josh Swiller.
My moms book club just read this book and it was one of their favorites.

All Aunt Hagar's Children by Edward P. Jones.
He wrote " The Know World" which I think we read a while back. He is also a winner of the Pulitzer Prize. This is a stunning collection of short stories. Most of the stories take place in Washington D.C. but the people are very ordinary. Jones is the king of heart stopping one liners. I think it would be fun to pick a few short stories from tis collection.


Plainsong by Kent Haruf.
This book was a National Book Award finalist. I don't know much about this book but a friend of mine read it in her book club and they had a great discussion.


The Zoo Keeper's Wife by Diane Ackerman.
This is historical fiction. It is based on the true story of a woman and her husband who were horrified by Nazi racism and who managed to save over three hundred people.
