We've taken part in book groups over the years, or read books that we really wanted to talk about when we were done. So we decided to start building a list of some of the books we think are best suited to thoughtful discussion. If you are looking for something to read with friends, check out our list - and, as ever, please feel free to send us ideas of your own!
