    Age of Innocence!! Please please please!!! I already have a copy and have been meaning to read it.

    I strongly encourage others vote for Age of Innocence.

    Oh fabulous. I've never read Wharton and I've always wanted to. I'm not sure which one to vote for yet.

    I've never read any Wharton either but I've flirted with the idea on occasion...maybe this would be a good time to fully commit.

    Read Innocence last year (the only Wharton book I have read) and enjoyed it very much so I will go for Ethan Frome this time. I wouldn't mind reading House of Mirth either but my judgement is influenced by a Peanuts cartoon I once read!

    Papaya> I hear they are offering free manicures for those who vote for EF!

    I voted for Ethan Frome. I have never read something from Edith Wharton, but to decide for which one to vote i read the fist few sentences of the books available here. Ethan Frome definately caught my attention.

    I've never read any Wharton either, and I'll be off to the library to read some non-spoiler introductions to Age of Innocence, Ethan Frome and House of Mirth. Judging from the titles only, I should like to vote for Age of Innocence...

    Edit: Internet research done, and the plot outline of Ethan Frome is the one I liked best.
