Books for Book Clubs

This weekend I read a wonderful book about a book club - Dinner With Anna Karenina by Gloria Goldreich. I really enjoyed this novel about a group of women, Cynthia, Jen, Elizabeth, Rina, Donna, and Trish, and their book club. They read and discussed some great books. And yes, it did have a happy ending - but all the characters had to work to make it happen.

Books the group discussed:

• Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy
• Madame Bovary by Gustave Flaubert
• The Letter of Edith Wharton and The Reef by Edith Wharton
• The Lottery by Shirley Jackson
• Reading Lolita in Tehran by Azar Nafisi and Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov
• The Bell Jar and Ariel by Sylvia Plath
• Little Women by Louisa May Alcott

Other fiction titles about books groups:

• Reading Group by Elizabeth Noble
• Jane Austen Book Club by Karen Joy Fowler
• Reading Lolita in Tehran by Azar Nafisi
• Angry Housewives Eating Bon Bons by Lorna Landvik

Any of these books would be great to read on your own or with your book club.
