Two Person Book Clubs

How about a book club of two? Rather than join or form a book club of several or many members pick a good friend and start reading the same book at the same time. The two of you can even take turns reading to each other. You can do that in person or over the phone. Don't get hung up on over analyzing the book you have chosen. Instead have fun telling each other what you think the author is saying to you. Get into the fun of sharing particular sentences or passages that make you think, laugh or cry. Enjoy learning new words together. Enjoy sharing epiphanies when something in the book clicks with a particular line of thought you have been having for a long time.

Here are a few suggestions for books that are perfect for two member book clubs.
