    I am planning to read Don Quixote in February, but I always seem to be casting a vote for some old book, which everybody else has read once.... so I haven't voted yet. Oh, but I see DQ is heading the race right now. I'm not complaining.

    Yeah! Let's go DQ! Woot woot!

    Actually, I'm going to start reading it tomorrow/Thursday. I guess this breaks the rules, but I definitely won't be done with it by February. Hopefully before March, though.

    But only half of DQ, isn't it?

    And, shhhh! That's my only selling point with Augie!

    Correct as usual, Scher.

    Looks like the man from La Mancha is ahead by a nose. But since it's so big and it's roughly divided in half between its two books, maybe book 1 or 2 is plenty ambitious for a monthly read.
    Uhhhh...

    Just read The White Tiger; it is a great book. Won't mind discussing it here if it wins.

    Same here, just finished reading The White Tiger. Excellent yarn.
    On to The Adventures of Augie March.

    I would like to nominate Moll Flanders by Daniel Defoe. I am about to read it anyway, and discussing it here would be fun.
