Me and a couple buddies are wanting to start a book club. We’ve all recently gotten back into reading (all of us are at different spots in the Wheel of Time series—can’t get enough of it), but we want something we start at the same time and discuss a little more formally. Of course we all have jobs and otherwise busy lives, so we’re hoping to find something manageable (probably not more than like 300-500 pages). We all enjoy fantasy, have dipped our toes in sci-fi (mostly the Dune series), but would broadly prefer something non-fiction. I got a recommendation for A Canticle for Leibowitz that looks pretty interesting but figured I’d ask Reddit for some more ideas!
