Based on how our discussions went last year, we decided to go for an even mix of contemporary fiction and "other."
I have to admit that there are a couple of books on the list that I'm not sure I'll like, but that's part of what makes being in a book club so enjoyable; you're challenged to read things you wouldn't necessarily pick for yourself.
February 2011: Tinkers by Paul Harding (contemp. fiction)
March 2011: Squirrel Seeks Chipmunk by David Sedaris (fables/satire)
April 2011: A Reliable Wife by Robert Goolrick (contemp. fiction)
May 2011: A Drink Before the War by Dennis Lehane (mystery/thriller)
