Lev Grossman's The Magicians might make for an interesting discussion Larry Send a noteboard - 03/12/2009 05:40:55 AM
It certainly has polarized discussions over at Westeros in recent weeks ;) I think it's a fine book, but several people reading it likely would have near-psychotic rages at elements of the book :P

Or one could just choose an Oprah Book Club pick from years ago ;)
