    I'm gonna say To the Lighthouse because I've never read any Woolf, but I'd definitely be up for East of Eden and The Name of the Rose.

    I have read The Good Earth. It was a good read but I don't want to re-read it.
    I sang of leaves, of leaves of gold, and leaves of gold there grew.

    I was planning to re-read To The Lighthouse. However I will wait for anyone to co-read it with me so that we can discuss it together. If anyone is interested then please let me know.

    Since the member who nominated it will not be able to join us for the Summer Reading, we had to replace his nomination.

    It was hard to pick I have 3 of those sitting on my shelf, waiting to be read. I've actually started the Good Earth just now.
