How about a short story? I've got a lot on my plate these days.

Yes, a short story or a couple of short stories sounds good to me too. Very busy lately but I would like to participate in the book club.
Wanted to read The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, but truth be told just not enough time.

You want a short story that will chill you? Thrawn Janet by Robert Louis Stevenson. Guaranteed to please!
Some of us laugh
Some of us cry
Some of us smoke
Some of us lie
But it's all just the way
that we cope with our lives...
Great Pen. How about I nominate Edgar Allen Poe's "The Fall of the House of Usher."

For the Book Club readings we usually pick up novels/books. However, last year Night very kindly arranged a short story reading on Halloween night (on MSN) and I am hoping that this year we can do something similar. So maybe you can nominate these short stories then.
I would like to point out that Book Club readings are not compulsory for anyone. The themed readings are simply a way of adding variety to our usual reading selection and, hopefully, get those members who have different interests involved as well.
I would like to nominate Frankenstein by Mary Shelley (which is a relatively short book).

Anybody interested in reading The Hound of the Baskervilles by A.C. Doyle?
I have a plan: attack!
My interest is piqued, if for no other reason than the suggestively restless eyebrow you've got going there.

Why disqualify the rush? I'm tabled. I'm tabled.
How about the "Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde"?
If you believe even a half of this post, you are severely mistaken.
We are reading the abridged version in school. It's a bit boring, or maybe because I am reading it abridged, that's why I am not finding it pleasant. (Usually, it's the unabridged versions, which I like.)Originally Posted by Taliesin
I sang of leaves, of leaves of gold, and leaves of gold there grew.
Nominations so far:
The Hound of the Baskervilles by A.C. Doyle
Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Stevenson
Frankenstein by Shelley
Dracula by Bram Stoker
I have only read Dracula from above list and wouldn't mind reading any of the others, truth be told.
Dracula was so different from what I had expected; a very touching and 'humane' story...
