I miss reading for fun. I am an avid reader and typically I will read anything I can get my hands on but this semester the text books are not cutting it. Lately, I have been wishing I was an English major instead of a PCM major. I would love to escape into somebody else's fantasitical world for awhile.

Well I stopped wishing and instead I have moved on to doing. I am starting a book club with some people I work with, however, I never realized how difficult it would be to create a list of books for an entire group of people.

First, even though I have been on a brief reading hiatus, I have still read quite a few books. I went to a few of the must read book websites and the top 100 classics of all time and I found I have read about 50 percent of the lists. Since I have never started or even belonged to a book club I did not know if it would be fair to include books that I have already read. So I kept on searching.

This time around I tried to be more specific. I figured we could set our book club up by genre months and this proved to be ideal. I began searching for different genre specific classics, starting off with sci-fi. I pulled up quite a few awesome book lists including some from the indiebound website.

Here are a some books I am considering for the book club:

1. Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card
2. Three Cups of Tea by Greg Mortensen
3. The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho
4. Brief Interviews with Hideous Men by David Foster Wallace
5. The Women by TC Boyle

I have not decided which one we will start with but I am excited to bring "fun" reading back into my life.
