Hi All!
My family wants to do a bookclub read for our family trip this summer. The issue is the wide variety of tastes among the group. Some love fantasy and sci fi, others prefer historical fiction or non fiction. I am looking for something engaging and plot heavy that isn’t heavy on romance and doesn’t include too much teen angst. Also nothing too sad.
Thinking back on what we have all enjoyed in the past: Harry Potter, The Da Vinci Code, The Martian.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy. The husband problem. The watchmaker of filigree st. The 100yr old man who climbed out the window and disappeared.
Michael Crichton’s **Timeline** has a group of grad students go back to 14th century France to investigate a mystery while another group stays in the present to assist/protect them. Much of the story is set in the past, depicting the brutality of life back then.
Stephen King’s **11/22/63**. A man goes back in time in an effort to prevent the assassination of JFK. King was on a real nostalgia kick when he wrote it, drawing an accurate picture of what life was like back then.
