A book I've been meaning to read for years is William Golding's The Inheritors. What happens when Neanderthals meet our ancestors.

read an interesting sci-fi trilogy called the neanderthal parallax that discussed a meeting humans and neanderthals from an alternate universe in which humans became extinct rather than the other way around

I think my reading choices might not be up market enough for a book discussion. Seem to gravitate to thrillers and mystery and not much into the psychology and symbolism of what the author meant. However, I could certainly find something from a given list I'm sure if there is a sampling of what the book is about, unless, of course it's one I've already read. :D

depending on the book there could be a lot to discuss in a thriller from what makes a killer to various socio-political issues. I read plenty of thrillers and many are really fascinating.

Was looking to see what the suggestion was for the BOTM for July thinking I might have a go but after Googling the content I think I'll pass - the 'stream of consciousness' was a bit of an obstacle for me but the capper was the Glasgow dialect. Will try again for the August one. :)

There are four or so suggestions in this thread as of now. My choice was the stream of consciousness / Glaswegian dialect one but that doesn't mean that it will ultimately be suggested as the one we will read for July. :)

And we tend to agree with each other on books LOL ... unless we agree to take opposing sides just like in a debate just to make it interesting? :rofl

I might have a go at the comparing books with overlapping themes thing myself. If I'm in the mood I'll do a wee comparative review thing as well.
 
Going back over this thread the ones that appealed most to me were Brave New World and The Inheritors.
