[The Comedian]

This sounds great -- I'll nominate The Invisible Man.

[Scheherazade]

This sounds great -- I'll nominate The Invisible Man.Always wanted to read that.

I will nominate Ann Veronica because it is a lesser-known work on a different theme.

[The Comedian]

I will nominate Ann Veronica because it is a lesser-known work on a different theme.

I'd never even heard of this novel, but I looked it up on wiki. It looks compelling. I may just end up voting for YOUR book. :-)

[Dark Muse]

I nominate Tono Bungay

[neilgee]

Not going to nominate because I was going to nominate Ann Veronica but Scher got there first. I've wanted to read that one for awhile, apparently if I remember right it was based upon a love affair that Well's had whilst he was married, which was a big deal if you were a public figure then even more so than it is now.

[Scheherazade]

Nominations so far:

1. The Invisible Man

2. Ann Veronica

3. Tono Bungay


All enticing choices; I think I will read whatever's chosen.

[Scheherazade]

You can now vote for the HG Wells book you would like to read in June.

Voted for Ann Veronica. I don't know anything about it but the subtitle says "a modern love story" and since it's written by a man, I'd like to see what it's about. :)

[aliengirl]

Voted for Ann Veronica! :)

[Scheherazade]

Should I order my copy of Ann Veronica?

I've already downloaded it onto my Kindle. It was free! :yesnod:

I've already downloaded it onto my Kindle. It was free! :yesnod:I wonder if it is available on Gutenberg as well.
