Read Dead Souls, Wide Sargasso Sea and American Psycho so went for To Kill a Mockingbird, which is still on my TBR list and which I am amazed i still haven't read.

[papayahed]

Anything except North and South

[Virgil]

I can go for a few of these. I'll wait until more people vote to make my vote count more. :wink5:

[L.M. The Third]

Anything except North and South

Why? Do you perhaps consider it too "romantic"?

Don't worry you're not missing out on too much....

[kasie]

I'll gladly talk about Hitchhiker's Guide with anyone who cares to join in.

[katelbach]

Hitchhiker's Guide takes the early lead. Wouldn't mind reading that either. Always been put off for some reason, although I have a copy somewhere.

[Scheherazade]

Oh, gawds... The options are Hitchhiker's Guide and North and South at the moment???

:rolleyes5:

[papayahed]

Why? Do you perhaps consider it too "romantic"?

No, I can't get past the writing. I've tried several times but can't get through the first few pages.

[Virgil]

:rolleyes5:

I would have liked to have read The Heart is a Lonely Hunter, but since it has no chance and I'm still reading the October selection and since I don't have all the time in the world I'm going to have to pass on November.

[Scheherazade]

I would have liked to have read The Heart is a Lonely Hunter, but since it has no chance ...Ah, don't say that, Virgil, and please do vote! You never know! :smilewinkgrin:

[Tallon]

I think i read To Kill A Mockingbird on a yearly basis anyway. I've read Jean Rhys before and enjoyed her, and Wide Sargasso Sea is meant to be her magnum opus so i'll go for that :)

[Nikhar]

I'll gladly talk about Hitchhiker's Guide with anyone who cares to join in.

count me in! ;)

[katelbach]

Looking forward to reading this. I expect the discussion to run for about 100 pages though, considering it's a favourite for so many. The copy i have was my grandad's and it's very very well-thumbed! The old sci-fi junky.

[Scheherazade]

Going once...

[Scheherazade]

Going twice...

[katelbach]

Gone?

[Nikhar]

[Scheherazade]

[Janine]

Ah...I read that book awhile back and thought it was pretty good. I also own a movie version which is pretty sexy. I may comment some on the book from time to time. Do we have a thread yet?
