While it's exciting to consider the options, make your list and winnow it down to those few select titles that you'll read each year, picking good books for your group can also be intimidating. Probably the best place to start looking for titles is your own members' bookshelves. Some groups insist that those proposing a book have read it and can testify to its worthiness for the group. Try searching this site for a good book. All the books listed here have reading guides that can enhance your group's discussion.
Many publishers specialize in certain types of books, either by genre or literary style.
If you find a book you like, search the publisher's site for similar titles. Try reading several works by one author or on the same topic. Or compare two books set in the same time period or focusing on related topics. Some reading groups even have themes, such as 19th century literature, science fiction, or women authors. Be sure to include a variety of topics and voices in your selections so your group doesn't get bored.
