Looking for a Book Rec

In an effort to find things to get me out of the house (for fun, not the I have to things), I have been checking out the new programming at the library.

They are starting a book club. First meeting is in September. The cool thing about it is that its a genre book club. As in August has a genre theme and in September we meet to talk about some book we read from that genre and drink coffee for an hour.

I want to give it a shot, but I am having trouble picking a book.

The theme for August is Fantasy and I was just going to browse the stacks until something jumped out at me, but like a lot of librarys, they have lumped the sci-fi and the fantasy into the same section. I would do the same thing. But as much as I like fantasy, I am more apt to grab something that is more sci-fi instead. As this is a genre specific book club, I would like my fantasy pick to be firmly in the fantasy genre in case they do sci-fi later.

I also would like to read something that is a stand alone, not the beginning of an epic trilogy or lengthy series I will feel compelled to keep reading. That would be awesome for some other time, not book club.

It would also be nice to read something I haven't read before, though I am flexible on that.

This is a very tall order.

Anyone have any ideas?
