The Readers Review: Literature from 1714 to 1910 discussion

It is almost September and we are nearing the end of our Summer Reading Project. Now it is time to consider what we want our next group read to be which will be starting in October.

I am giving you an open nomination.

There has been some discussion about possibly extending the groups timeline and though what the "official" cut off date should be has not yet been determined bearing this in mind I may be willing to allow nominations for books that were published later than 1910.

So you can keep that in mind while nominating.

One nomination per person please. You will have until the end of the month.

The Three Musketeers

The Portrait of a Lady by Henry James


Or really anything by James if you want to tweak my nomination. I'm sadly lacking in James, having only read Daisy Miller, Washington Square, and The Turn of the Screw. It would be great to take on something longer with a group.

The Paul Street Boys by F. Molnar

Johanna wrote: "The Paul Street Boys by Ferenc Molnár"

To make the description easy to find for those, like myself, unfamiliar with this.

I second The Three Musketeers!

Nominations are now closed and the poll is up so please vote for which book you would most like to read in October.

I vote for Three Musketeers.

To vote, you need to go to the poll page. In the upper right hand corner of this page you will find a menu in green that runs from "Group home" to "polls." Click on polls, and it will take you to the voting screen.

Because the top three books all fell within one vote of each other. There is now a run off poll. Please vote for which of the top three books you would most like to read.
