Beginning this September, the North Brookfield Public Library Book Group will be trying a new format for choosing titles to read: each member has been asked to come up with some suggestions, and we’ll pick our selections a season at a time, instead of at each monthly meeting. Over the next few weeks or months, I’ll try to put a list together, or maybe two lists, one for fiction and the other for nonfiction. So far, this is what I’ve come up with:

Fiction

• Reunion-Fred Uhlman
• The Odd Sea- Frederick Reiken
• Sophie’s World-Jostein Gaarder
• The Windup Bird Chronicle-Haruki Murakami
• Imagining Argentina-Lawrence Thornton

Nonfiction

• Endurance-Alfred Lansing
• Silent Spring-Rachel Carson
• Cadillac Desert-Marc Reisner
• Border Passage-Leila Ahmed
• Omnivore’s Dilemma-Michael Pollan
