The Seasonal Reading Challenge discussion

It's time to starting thinking about some fun and interesting categories for our Group Reads! The ideas gathered from this thread will be used to build a list from which categories will be randomly chosen. Please include a short definition or description with your suggestion.

Each season's Group Reads will have 2 fiction categories and 1 non-fiction category. The Gutenberg Classics will continue.
The year's categories will be posted in advance so Group Reads nominators will have time to research and select appropriate books. For more information about the nominating process, please see task 20.10 in the Rewards of the Challenge.
As always, polls will be set up each season to choose between the nominated books for that season's Group Reads.
