spoko (spokospoko) | 259 comments We ended up with one clear winner and a three-way tie for second place, so we’ve got our top four! Here they are:

The Golden Bowl by Henry James — nominated by Barb (only one person didn’t vote for this—should be a popular discussion!)
The Way We Live Now by Anthony Trollope — also nominated by Barb
Pilgrim at Tinker Creek by Annie Dillard — nominated by me
The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter by Carson McCullers — also nominated by me

Barb, you & I are going to be busy!

Lynn | 2344 comments Thanks, spoko! Looks like a great list. I'll get busy building the full 6-month schedule. With any luck, I should be able to post it before Thanksgiving.

Lynn | 2344 comments Okay, we have a bit of a situation because of a lapse of memory on my part. As I started to work on the schedule, I remembered that there was a leftover classics book from the July - Dec process last summer that we were going to give an automatic slot this spring. It's Sophie's Choice, nominated by Donna.

Since we only have four new classics, I think we can just slot Sophie's Choice in with the others from this round of voting. Last summer Donna said she would be okay doing it in January, so I'll double check to see if that's still the case.

I forgot all about that Lynn. January is still fine, thanks.
