Hey guys. For those who didn't make it to book club, we discussed some options for reading selections to come. I thought it might be a good idea to post the list I made a while back so we could be reminded of some of the selections we had considered before, as well as, cross off the ones we have done. This way, we can add other options as we think of them. I think some of these books I had added later. At least we'll have it for a reference to go back to if we need. I know there were alot of great books mentioned that are not on this list so add whatever comes to mind.
