19th Century Epic Romances discussion

Please use this thread to post your nominations for our group discussion for January 2015:

I would like to nominate A Tale of Two Cities by Dickens. I haven't read it in such a long time and would really like to read and discuss it with this group. I've started it a couple of times recently, but haven't continued for whatever reason. This would encourage me to do so!

I agree with Angelah on A tale of two cities, I need to read Charles Dickens.

I'd love to read Shirley by Charlotte Bronte.

A Tale of Two Cities sounds good, too. :)

I am nominating The Ladies' Paradise by Émile Zola-- 438 pages.

I would like to nominate by Kate Chopin.

I am nominating Far From the Madding Crowd by Thomas Hardy since there is a movie coming out this year and I want to read it first.

Allison, we read Far from the Madding Crowd in April or May last year. I second The Awakening.

I would love to read The Awakening!

Allison, if you want to read "Far From the Maddening Crowd", you can look at our discussion from May 2014 and add your thoughts - we keep the discussion threads open so people that read it later can say something and someone may respond.

Oh great! Then I will jump on the nomination of the Awakening.
