We can start taking nominations for next year's quarterly reads. You can nominate more than one book. Quarterly reads are books that are over 600 pages and less than 999 pages.

You can nominate books until 11/24 and voting can start on the 24th of November with winners announced by November 30.

List of nominations:
A Prayer for Owen Meany

A Prayer for Owen Meany by John Irving (637 pages)

Is there any interest in a Charles Dickens novel? I have read only Tale of Two Cities and A Christmas Carol.

Diane, you can nominate anything, as many as you want, we will vote on the list of nominations. So go for all you would like to read.

Mr Predictable would like to enter the following candidates:

The Betrothed (Manzoni)
Finnegans Wake (Joyce)
Gravity's Rainbow (Pynchon)
Melmoth the Wanderer (Maturin)

I nearly added one of the Mann bricks, but I wouldn't want to increase my impopularity...

I could probably support Oliver Twist if it gets nominated. It just makes the cut, I believe (608 pages, Penguin edition)

Valerie Brown | 895 comments I don't have a very good history of accomplishing the quarterly reads, however I would like to suggest:

Sometimes a Great Notion
The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle

and I'm not opposed to Dickens.
