The Socratic Salon discussion

Are there any backlist books you've loved and want to chat about in The Salon?

I have a few!! (There are a couple in here I haven't read yet, but based on what I've heard, I think they'll be rich ground for discussion.)

Hearts and Minds by Amanda Craig
All My Puny Sorrows by Miriam Toews
The Silver Linings Playbook by Matthew Quick
Any of John Irving's books
Men Explain Things To Me by Rebecca Solnit
Brown Girl Dreaming by Jacqueline Woodson
Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk by Ben Fountain
Any of Isabel Allende's books
Life After Life by Kate Atkinson
All the Bright Places by Jennifer Niven
If I Fall, If I Die by Michael Christie
All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr
The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry by Gabrielle Zevin
The Opposite of Loneliness by Marina Keegan
Eleanor & Park/Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell
The Book of Unknown Americans by Cristina Henriquez
Lamb by Christopher Moore
A Tale for the Time Being by Ruth Ozeki
The Book Thief by Markus Zusak
Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel
The Silence of Bonaventure Arrow by Rita Leganski

I think All the Birds, Singing would make for some good discussion - especially with that ending. Plus, it's really a very different kind of book, and can't really think of one that is similar...

Ooooh YES!! Seconded! I've heard intriguing things.

April and I both read it and it's on our list of possibilities!
