Book Club

I joined a book club at the beginning of this year. I love to read, but haven't read as much as I used to since having kids, so it's provided some motivation to get back into reading. I grew up reading mostly classics over 100 years old (more recently I've read mostly non-fiction), so it's been a good opportunity for me to branch out a little and try some new stuff.

I just finished reading "The Host," by Stephenie Meyer for book club. We were supposed to read "Freakonomics"- which I was really excited to read- but the book got changed at the last minute. I was very disappointed... it was only extremely grudgingly that I started reading "The Host." Maybe it's just the stubborn side of me, but the "Twilight" books are so over-hyped right now-- it seems like EVERYBODY is in love with them-- that I was trying to avoid Stephenie Meyer altogether as a reaction to it, a protest for finer "literature" or just a way to be different. Besides, I'm not into sci-fi at all and this book is about alien body-snatchers. But, shock of all shocks, I finished the book and I actually really enjoyed it. Who would have thought?

So should I break down and actually read the Twilight series? Should I succumb and become one of the crowd? ;) Let me know what you think... or if you have any other good reads you recommend.
