Book club suggestions?

[JaneEyre1986]

Okay, I the church I go to has a book club, and I've go a few suggestions in my mind. What I really need are suggestions of books that have little to no swearing in them (and by little, I mean little), no obvious sex, and basically nothing really bad in them. Right now, our book of the month is At Home in Mitford by Jan Karon.

Mays book: Charlie's Promise (or something like that, can't remember off the top of my head)

June: Sense & Sensibility.

My suggestions are:

Pride & Prejudice
Jane Eyre
Marley & Me (I have to re-read that one to see if it's appropriate)
The Notebook (actually somebody elses, I'm not a fan of that book).


This might help also, age ranges. I'm the youngest (21), and I'm not too sure how old the eldest is, maybe somwhere around 50?

Thanks for the help!

North and South by Gaskell! (i'm suddenly obsessed with this amazing story. :blush:)

An excellent book that meets your criteria is Rebecca by Daphne DuMaurier[/U] (1938). It's a mytsery/romance in the style of Jane Eyre, and is, in my opinion, DuMaurier's best novel.

My suggestions are:

Pride & Prejudice
Jane Eyre
Marley & Me (I have to re-read that one to see if it's appropriate)
The Notebook (actually somebody elses, I'm not a fan of that book).


My wife really liked Marley & Me. Another book along those lines is a book called Rescuing Sprite by mark Levin. Those dog books are real tear jerkers.

If your looking for a classics book along the lines, why not Wuthering Heights or Great Expectations?
