No, actually the Shakespeare forum was to start in January, according to Scher.
LET THERE BE LIGHT
"Love follows knowledge." – St. Catherine of Siena
My literature blog: http://ashesfromburntroses.blogspot.com/
I included only the first of your nominations because each member is allowed to nominate one book only (if that is what you meant by '2nd try'?)
I can find it on amazon.com but not on amazon.co.uk. Is it possible that it is not published in the UK or under a different title maybe?We will not be starting to SDG readings till January because December is already a very busy month and many members find it hard to attend the Forum regularly and/or take part Club readings. So if Twelfth Night is chosen for our Christmas Reading, we will not be reading two Shakespeare plays simultaneously.can I just say somthing though if we read 12th night then youll be reading 2 shakespear plays at the same time.....I do not make decisions as a Moderator on personal whims (however tempting the idea might be at times!).
The decision not to start the SDG readings till January was taken in the light of the wishes of some members and also of our experiences from previous years; many members find it hard to visit the Forum regularly during that time, let alone take part in an ambitious reading scheme as SDG. And we do not want to start a new project with the knowledge that our members may not be able to participate.
Since the inital suggestion for the SDG was to read Twelfth Night during Christmas season, I am not sure what difference it makes whether we read it for SDG or the BC.
Nominations so far:
Twelfth Night by Shakespeare
He Sees You While You Are Sleeping by Mary Higgins Clark (?)
Box of Delights John Masefield

No, no - I'd tried to send the message once, but pressed the wrong thing.
I'm quite happy to have only one nomination - but, for my nomination, please take whichever of the two books best matches the spirit of the Christmas read.
Voices mysterious far and near,
Sound of the wind and sound of the sea,
Are calling and whispering in my ear,
Whifflingpin! Why stayest thou here?
Ah, I see
I am not familiar with either books so will go with the first one. If you change your mind, let me know, please!

I nominate "Twelfth Night". Good and Christmasy! Remember the Christmas tree scene? Light and funny, too for the season.
I hate to do this but........Skipping Christmas by John Grisham
My first choice was How the Grinch stole Christmas, but I guess that might be to quick of a read.

Sounds like fun! I haven't watched the movie.
I saw this one while going through the list and would like to give it a try some time. I am very curious about Capote (all To Kill A Mockingbird's fault!!!)
