I want a fun and engaging book for adult advanced learners.

Does anyone know any series that are really good?

Thanks. And I should have been more clearer the first time. This book should be for topics and conversations mostly...all students will have one, so it cant be just for the teacher.
Don't really need a grammar book since this is a "free-talking" class for the most part.

If they're really advanced level, why don't you get them to bring in articles they want to talk about and write discussion questions they want to talk about? Then they're getting more English exposure outside the classroom, you know it's motivating to the students as they chose it, and saves you lots of prep work. The only downside is that it relies on student motivation.

Totally True - is a series similar to CYBI, but more modern.

You might try "conversation topics for small groups" by Jack martire.

I think that's what it's called, there are several editions and levels, but one bad part about them is they are rife with spelling errors.

You can also use some reading books as a resource, I can't recall all the names.

Reading Advantage, Reading ...yada yada.

There are usually lots to choose from and are graded in various levels.

or you could use the net:
