Looking for Book Suggestions


I am looking for book suggestions. In June, it will be my turn to present books to my book club. We can have fiction or non-fiction. I can present as many books as I want. The only thing about the book that the club insists on is that the book be available in paperback. I already made that mistake once so I'm not about to make it again. Do you have any ideas? Please let me know! I am open to suggestions. Here is what I have tentatively planned to offer: "The Jungle" by Upton Sinclair, "Thinking in Pictures" by Temple Grandin, "Siddhartha" by Herman Hesse, "The Last River Rat" by Kenny Salway and J. Scott Bestul, and "Sinkiller" by Larry McMurtry. I'm not including one of my favorite authors, Barbara Kingsolver, on purpose. Last time we reviewed one of her books, some book club members didn't like her writing style or content and I found myself getting upset with them.
