oh heck! smiles...I was thinking it could be sort of a round robin type of thing where everyone who read the list could continue to refine it, and then refine it, and then refine it, until we all got down to the last one or two books we've all not read. I fear if I pick one---it might be that everyone else but me had read it! ack!
how about, the heart is a lonely hunter.
Love that book. Will set up the poll tomorrow so last couple of hours for your nominations!

if you've already read it Scheherazade, maybe you can also include tropic of cancer? (if you've not read it that is)
in my naivete ive been waiting for a sort of formal declaration/communication/start time etc...
im guessing we all should have been/could have been reading tropic of cancer since a couple of weeks ago?
