The Thornbirds is a terrific book... Unfortunately it's not available as an ebook in Australia... Neither is Outlander.

I third A Room With A View, because I have been meaning to read it for years and then forget.

Already on the list, Dixiegal (see post #53)...its down to one more nomination confirmation and then we'll have our ten.

Thank you, Nyssa

The nominations are updated to this point. Please see post #53.

It appears to be 9 fully nominated books, and we need just one more.

If there are any objections speak now or forever hold your peace. Wait..... I think that is a line for something else.

To those who nominated Outlander...

I've read it and really bad. It was not even good. The best part was the bit at the end where you close the back cover because it's done and you can then wonder why you wasted part of your life reading it.
See, I liked Outlander and I absolutely detest the J.D. Robb books (IMO they are set entirely in the present, with contemporary characters; the only 'futuristic' element is that they have flying cars).

Taste is subjective.

I loved Outlander, and the whole rest of the series. Different strokes for different folks, I guess.
I suspect that it's a book that will perhaps appeal more to women than to men.

Don't really know anything about it, but I've never read Hemmingway and see no reason not to start.

This would make The Sun also Rises our 10th book.

Its already on the list as one of the 10. See post #53.

Next step is the official poll, which is scheduled to go up on Tuesday, February 25th.

All I can say about Outlander is that it ranks right up there with Battlefield Earth for sheer badness.
