Summer Book Club

I think it would be really fun to do a book club this summer. We'd pick a book that we all want to read, read it, and then have a discussion about it (either as we go or as soon as everyone's done) on the blog. So, the big question is... what should we read? I'll throw out a few that are on my list:

-Like Water for Chocolate
-The House of the Seven Gables
-though, Hawthorne is sometimes super boring.
-The Omnivore's Dilemma
-A Room of One's Own
-A Passage to India
-Reading Lolita in Tehran
-The Physic Book of Deliverance Dane
-this one is a NYT Bestseller and the author is actually a colleague of mine at BU. We have the same advisor and so I've met her a few times. Word is they're making a movie out of this book, though I don't know how far along the process is. Anyway, it's about Salem and witches and it switches back and forth between the 1692 people and a researcher who is studying them.

We don't have to read any of these, I just wanted to throw a few out there. Other suggestions?
