Between the Lines discussion

I really enjoyed our Austen Autumn, and the Steinbeck Summer...

Is anyone interested in doing this for the winter months?

I suggest having an E. B. White Winter.

Any other suggestions?

I like Fiona's suggestion. Dickens winter. :)

I don't know E.B. White, but I have a couple of Dickens on my to-read list.

I like the idea of a Dickens December....

Dickens sounds good to me, too. Lots of good books to choose from.

I will be reading Christmas Carol in Decemeber for the Victorian reading group and might doing Our Mutural Friend in January, so I would be up for Dikens in the winter. I always been meaning to read his works, but never could motivate myself to get around to doing so.

I'm in! I'm reading Oliver twist now but I'm always up for reading more of his work.

I'm in too. But I hope we can read Dickens for three months and not just in December - I have a lot of Dickens I would like to read!

Oh Yeah! I like that idea!

Shall I put a list of all his books in a poll and we take the top 3 most voted for?"

Sounds like a good plan....

I'm lost... Where is the poll? Sorry I seem to be missing something!

oh my.... I voted for Tale of Two Cities not realizing everyones dislike for it. Now I don't know whether I want to bother reading it or read it just to see if it realy is that bad... Not that I am discounting all your opinions on it.

I voted for A Tale of Two Cities because I've always wanted to read it. I've only ever read Great Exectations and Hard Times by Dickens.

It looks like the winners were A Tale of Two Cities, Great Expectations, and A Christmas Carol.

I think we should read A Christmas Carol in Dec, then perhaps A Tale of Two Cities for Jan and Great Expectations for Feb. Sound ok everyone?

Is there going to be a special thread for discussing these books? Are are they just to be dicussed with the Dicken's thread already exisiting?
