Yes, it might not be a good idea for Valentine's Day considering that it's a tragedy. Too heavy of a reading. But I stick to this because I haven't got any other idea about what to nominate. And I think that I will like to read it... I have never tried any unabridged version by Hardy.

I find him and his books mostly dull and sleep inducing. It is my personal opinion and does not mean that you need to change your nomination.


I would like to nominate Katherine (http://www.amazon.com/Katherine-Anya-Seton/dp/155652532X/sr=1-1/qid=1169832759/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/105-7593194-2883625?ie=UTF8&s=books) by Anna Seton; it is very different from what I usually read and sounds intriguiging with the historical context.

It is a little long but since Capote books are short, we can hopefully squeeze this one in next month.

Yes, I know. I was just thinking out aloud.

I haven't tried any work of Hardy except The Mayor of Casterbridge which I tried as abridged actually. So didn't find it boring. Now, my comment is on Hardy (or the person who shortened the actual book). :D

Persuasion, by Jane Austen
it's a great story.. long and detailed but wonderful ending nonetheless.

Fringerprint by Melinda metz
this is a very interesting book with 6 series currently
It's a story about a girl,Rae ,who has the ability to read people's thoughts by touching fingerprints.However it's not a really good thing to have this ability because she has been in danger because of her power . Also someone she cares about is in touble because of she too.
Now i am reading the second series and going to the third series sonn .
Hope you guys will pick this book.
