It is interesting.
Though I nominated The Sun Also Rises, I am voting for A Room With A View. I'd love to read either one and both are on my long list of books to eventually read. Wuthering Heights and Jane Eyre are both amazing books, two of my favourites actually, but I've already read both of them in the last few years and I've also read Pride & Prejudice which is also very good. If any of those three end up being the choice, I'll be happy since they're all so good, but will refrain from joining the club for another month because I'm not big on re-reading them so soon. Besides those three though, whichever selection is chosen I will try to read...as my first month being part of this, it will be fun to see what happens! ![]() |

I agree - a very interesting poll. There're only two books on it I probably wouldn't read if they won (no, I'm not saying which ones

So where does this book club take place? I've seen the voting before but never the discussion.
Does everyone just discuss the book as they're reading it or wait until they're done? With the exception of two, I would read any on the list. Some don't sound too exciting by description, but I suspect there is more to them. Outlander - I read a bit more than half before I just couldn't stand it anymore. Sons and Lovers - Ummm ... not. |

![]() Everyone reads the book on their own and an online discussion will start on the 20th of the month. This is the link to January's Book Club discussion of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=117615 |

There's little in the list I'd normally opt for ... I have read none of the titles (not even Sons and Lovers which turns up on so many English Lit classes). But I opted for A Room with a View because Forster's writing is so gorgeous, if melancholy.

I'm completely torn between my three nominations.
I think "Sons and Lovers" might be a better read for me than "Lady Chatterley's Lover". However, I feel that the latter is probably a better match for the theme this month. Perhaps I pushed a bit too hard against the boundaries of the theme for "Sons and Lovers". Alternatively, it's difficult to pass up the opportunity for a Hemmingway now that the opportunity has arisen. On the other hand, I would need to buy Hemmingway, whereas the others I alread have as Public Domain. Maybe I'll dwell on it a little longer and make my decision at the last possible moment.

Actually - just looking at the votes so far, I don't think I would have a problem with "A Room with a View" either.
I was going to use my 3rd nomination for that, but it was already fully nominated. ![]() Regards Caleb |

I nearly memorized a few of these in my adolescence, so I'm picking one that I've read, but not over and over. The only one I haven't read is the Bujold.

The only ones I haven't read are Sons and Lovers and the Bujold. I love D.H. Lawrence so I wouldn't mind reading S&L. I'd happily re-read Lady Chatterly's Lover.
IMO some of the nominated titles don't qualify as romance, but no one asked me. |

I'm wondering how anyone can vote for the author of one of the worst books ever written. E. M. Forster wrote A Passage to India. It was and is one of the worst books I've ever read. So reading another book by Forster would be akin to having cut one ear off and then going to cut the other off.
