Book Club recommendations

Me and some friends from my church are planning to do a book club online where we read and discuss a book while on lockdown. Do you have any recommendations for a traditional Catholic book that would be good for this purpose?

A traditional Catholic book or a book for traditional Catholics?  Not sure if you're looking to read a devotional book or just a book that would generate good conversation among friends (with Catholic themes and the like).
.
Brideshead Revisited comes to mind.  It'll give you loads to talk about.
.
If you're looking for something explicitly devotional, you might read The Christian Father (if you're parents) or a classic in spirituality like S. Francis de Sales Introduction to the Devout Life.

Two come to mind.  The Cure of Ars, but for these times the Man of Tours, devotion to the Holy Face for the blasphemies of impious jews/communism.

I recommend The Imitation of Christ by Thomas à Kempis, in particular the version known as My Imitation of Christ, which was produced by The Confraternity of the Precious Blood many years ago and has been reprinted.
