    Future Reads For the PopUK Book Club

    I've been looking ahead to what we could read together in our PopUK Book Club. Several film adaptations are coming up, so I've selected a range of such titles as possible future reads. Some have been published recently while some are classics, and different genres are represented, from the short story to children's fiction to chick lit. Be sure to let me know what you think!

    Great suggestions, Pop! Sticking out tongue

    I'd love either Benjamin Button (have read several Fitzgerald things but not that one) or Pippa Lee (I was planning to read it soon anyway)!!

    Have already read Dorian Gray and Confessions of a Shopaholic a bunch of times, and I HATED the Lovely Bones. Sticking out tongue

    Yes great choices Pop! Smiling

    I agree Advah - Benjamin Button would be good to read and I think Pippa Lee sounds interesting - quite a few concerning aging aren't there

    I've got Lovely Bones which I really want to read but haven't yet felt in a suitable frame of mind!

    Should definitely read Dorian Gray and I'd like the Bee one and Shopaholic as light relief please Cool

    I'm getting the hang of the smileys I think...

    Thanks Advah! It's great to get your feedback.

    I find it's fun to reread certain books too, so if we do read some that you've already read it'd be great to get your thoughts on them from that perspective.

    Looking forward to reading some of these titles with you soon! Smiling

    Hmm I can only think of books that have already been adapted into films, and not new films. Sad I'll keep looking. Sticking out tongue

    Awesome, thanks Advah!

    If there are certain books that lots of us would love to read together, then it will be great to choose those titles as future book club reads too Smiling

    Re-me. Sticking out tongue

    I've had a look at future films, and I saw
    Revolutionary Road - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0959337/
    The Reader - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0976051/ (I loved that book)

    Please don't see that as me trying to hijack the book club, just more suggestions. Smiling

    hey.. as we probably are mostly girls i think we could definitely read "Confessions of a shopaholic".. but.. you could also pick books that have been made into movies and compare them.. like "Breakfast at Tiffanies" or "Brokeback Mountain".. I can`t really come up with ideas right now,but I`m just saying.. or another great title AND a great movie is "Love in the time of cholera" I really really loved the book and the movie as well.. well.. I just wanted to hope and I hope I`ll catch up with you with "choke" but didn`t really have the time for it lately..

    Thanks for the ideas Diana0504, they're great!

    I really enjoy comparing books and their film versions, so I'm glad you do too.

    If you get a chance to read Choke I'd love to hear what you think of it - it's such a fascinating book.

    Thanks again for the suggestions, I'll look forward to reading some of these titles with you Smiling

    I highly recommend The Time Traveller's Wife--I flew through this book when I read it and it's one of my all-time favorites. And after having watched the trailer for Revolutionary Road, I immediately put the book on my "to read" list. I cannot wait for both films to come out!

    Great picks but also can't wait for "My Sister's Keeper" by Jodie Picoult. The book is amazing and so far the cast for the movie seems pretty good too.
