the classics club discussion

So, based on the results of the poll, we will be starting monthly group reads in January! If you have any suggestions for books to include, please post them here and near the end of this month I will create a poll to decide on one :)

You can nominate more than one! If we end up with too many options, I will select the books that were suggested most often to include in the poll

The Phantom of The Opera by Gaston Leroux

The Death of Ivan Ilych by Lev Tolstoy

I second The Phantom of The Opera by Gaston Leroux.

I also have some more suggestions:

The Mystery of Edwin Drood by Charles Dickens

The Moonstone by Wilkie Collins

The Tenant of Wildfell Hall by Anne Bronte

Agnes Grey by Anne Bronte

Hi! I'm new to the group but this sounds amazing and would love to participate in this! I have a few recommendations myself:

Ethan Frome by Edith Wharton

Dream of the Red Chamber by Tsao Hsueh-Chin

I Am a Cat by Natsume Soseki

Efuru by Flora Nwapa

I second East of Eden (though won't read along as it was the last book I read). I would also like to add The Grapes of Wraith by John Steinbeck.

I second the Tenant of Wildfell Hall,
I would suggest Shirley by Charlotte Bronte

I third The Phantom of the Opera.

Can I also second Shirley by Charlotte Bronte? How many am I allowed to vote for? 😅

You can vote for as many previous suggestions as you want, but I think maybe we should start to limit new suggestions to one or so each because all the options are getting a bit overwhelming!

Thank you, Holly!

And true 😂 I wish I knew of a system that would help the process.

I'll second The Idiot by Dostoevsky and I'd also like to recommend The Master and Margarita if that's okay :)

Yes, that's ok! Thanks everyone for all of these suggestions :)

The poll to decide on next month's book has been created, and so nominations are now closed! Thank you to everyone who suggested a book!

is campaigning for a book allowed or is that biasness and will get me kicked out of here?
