I am giving some thought to organizing a cross-grade level book club that
would meet once a month.  I belong to an adult book club and enjoy it so
much, that I'd like to try it with my 6th, 7th and 8th grade students.  If
any of you are doing this, please tell me what you think is the best size
for this group.  I am thinking about 15 would be good.

Also, I would like suggestions from you of appropriate titles.  We would
all read the same book.  I want to use good stuff that will allow
discussions that enhance the students' appreciation of the books.  I would
also like titles that lend themselves to comparitive literature type
discussions:  books with similar themes, characters that beg to be
compared, plots handled in different ways by different authors.

I look forward to  your responses.  This is a wonderful group!
