    1. The Awakening by Kate Chopin

    2. Persuasion by Austen?[/QUOTE]

    3. Delta Wedding by Eudora Welty

    4. Vanity Fair by Thackeray

    5. Daisy Miller by Henry James, or is that too short?[/QUOTE]

    6. Emma by Austen

    7. Wives and Daughters by Gaskell


    I have never been a fan of Persuasion; find it too dramatic, too soap-opera-ish.


    I would like to nominate something by Henry James since I have always wanted to read more of his books ( I loved Daisy Miller). I think I will nominate The Bostonians. And Christopher Reeve is in the movie!

    Does that mean you're going to be watching the movie instead of reading the book?

    Let's put it this way, if I were to be a character in a novel of manners, I would be the villain.

    LOL, but I still don't get it. I'll have to resort to google.

    Nightshade, I used your link and voted. What happens if it wins both polls?

    Mr. Collins from Pride & Prejudice? I'm not sure he's the one. I'm glad to see you loosen up every once in a while J. Not every post has to be a serious disertation.
