I nominate Fifth Business by Robertson Davies.
How about Gore Vidal's Julian?
Katherine by Anya Seton.
I love historical fiction
It is hard to pick just one to nominate but I am going to go with
The Mistress of the Art of Death by Ariana Franklin
Nominations so far:
1. Fifth Business by Robertson Davies
2. Julian Gore Vidal
3. Katherine by Anya Seton
4. The Mistress of the Art of Death by Ariana Franklin
I have wanted to read a Walter Scott novel for the longest time. I'll suggest Waverly but if there is another people would recommend I can switch.
I thought about nominating Ivanhoe
I am not actually a big fan of historical novel, to be honest.
I'm not a big fan of the historical novel, either, but Katherine would probably get my vote as I've read other books by Anya Seton and enjoyed them.
Dark Muse,I loved "Ivanhoe"; maybe I would love the one you mentioned, Virgil....why not nominate either?
It is in BBC's Big Read list as well so it would be great for me to get it out of the way :DQuote:

I haven't acutally read the one I nominated yet, so I could not say if I think you would like it or not. I read something about it which sounded interesting and so I nominated it to motivate me to read it.Quote:
