April / Novel of Manners Poll

1. The Awakening by Kate Chopin

2. Persuasion by Austen?[/QUOTE]

3. Delta Wedding by Eudora Welty

4. Vanity Fair by Thackeray

5. Daisy Miller by Henry James, or is that too short?[/QUOTE]

6. Emma by Austen

7. Wives and Daughters by Gaskell


I have never been a fan of Persuasion; find it too dramatic, too soap-opera-ish.


I would like to nominate something by Henry James since I have always wanted to read more of his books ( I loved Daisy Miller). I think I will nominate The Bostonians. And Christopher Reeve is in the movie!

*swoons*

Does that mean you're going to be watching the movie instead of reading the book? ;)

If you get wobbly kneed and switch your vote, then we divide our votes and we all lose. Solidarity baby. :D

Let's put it this way, if I were to be a character in a novel of manners, I would be the villain. :p ;)

No, you'd be Mr. Collins :p :flare::flare::flare::flare::p

Nightshade, I used your link and voted. What happens if it wins both polls? :)

I would like to nominate Far From the Madding Crowd, if it's not too late.
