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! http://www.industreal.spb.ru/smiles/scull.gif

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).

My interest is piqued, if for no other reason than the suggestively restless eyebrow you've got going there.

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.)

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...
