Second Brideshead; that would be a really fun book to discuss.

ETA: One interesting aspect is that different editions are in print in the UK and the USA. Waugh did a major rewrite on the book around 1960; that is the edition that's in print in the UK. In the USA, the (superior, IMO) original edition is in print. The revised edition was never published here.
