Maybe Tess of the d'Urbervilles?

Yes, it might not be a good idea for Valentine's Day considering that it's a tragedy. Too heavy of a reading. But I stick to this because I haven't got any other idea about what to nominate. And I think that I will like to read it... I have never tried any unabridged version by Hardy.

You are free to nominate any book you like, Pensive. My comment was on Hardy rather than you. I find him and his books mostly dull and sleep inducing. It is my personal opinion and does not mean that you need to change your nomination.
I would like to nominate Katherine by Anna Seton; it is very different from what I usually read and sounds intriguiging with the historical context.
It is a little long but since Capote books are short, we can hopefully squeeze this one in next month.

Yes, I know. I was just thinking out aloud.
I haven't tried any work of Hardy except The Mayor of Casterbridge which I tried as abridged actually. So didn't find it boring. Now, my comment is on Hardy (or the person who shortened the actual book).

Persuasion, by Jane Austen
it's a great story.. long and detailed but wonderful ending nonetheless.
we stand round blankly as walls...
let's live suddenly without thinking
Its a Valentine's day reading nomination, and the smilie looks so white and sad and worried
I nominate "The girl with a pearl earring" by Tracy Chevalier, if it hasn't been read yet.
I think you might havve to count me out this month,and maddie thats because its worried someone will suggest Anna Karenia.

Fringerprint by Melinda metz
this is a very interesting book with 6 series currently
It's a story about a girl,Rae ,who has the ability to read people's thoughts by touching fingerprints.However it's not a really good thing to have this ability because she has been in danger because of her power . Also someone she cares about is in touble because of she too.
Now i am reading the second series and going to the third series sonn .
Hope you guys will pick this book.
A room with a view - EM Forrester
