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. :-)

I nominate Tono Bungay
Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before. ~ Edgar Allan Poe
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.
What are regrets? Just lessons we haven't learned yet - Beth Orton

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

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.

i found a copy of the invisible man for a buck at a rummage sale a week ago, so i have a feeling it is fate or something.
“the sense of being which in calm hours arises, we know not how, in the soul, is not diverse from things, from space, from light, from time, from man, but one with them and proceeds obviously from the same source.... Here is the fountain of action and of thought....
