My dad's older than you, 71. But my parents have been in this book club since I was in high school. We always used to tease my dad because he'd be racing to finish whatever book on the day of the book club and was always rolling his eyeballs at the selections.
OK, I will work on a book for you with a female protagonist that you might like. And, the fact that it has been since high school... this would be a really great 180 for you! Why not? If I were you, I'd think about switching out every other book so that you read one thing you know you'll love and then alternate with something that will stretch you. You and my H have similar taste in books on the history side at least (though he won't read science fiction). Do you like Jon Krakauer? Maybe try Missoula, which I think anyone with daughters in college should read.
If not a book with your daughters, maybe a movie, their choice, and discuss it afterwards? Or digging in more to what they're learning about in college?
