Hi to all!!!! I hope you didn't forget me
I am back again and hope not to disappear again. Miss you all so much.
I like to read Chopin as I try to write an essay on one of her short stories. But I am not sure I wait to see ...

Also could I nominate the house of mirth? I've always wanted to read that, maybe this will be the incentive i need.
Another two - A Room with a View or THe Great Gatsby?

Niamh was answering your question - who is christopher reeves!

I voted on Thackeray's Vanity Fair. perfect for a novel of manners
A leader is a dealer in hope.
Question which one is vanity fair again? I always get away from the maddening crowd and vanity fair muddled up...

Having read Vanity Fair twice already, I don't think I will be willing to do so again, I am afraid.

It would be an advantage in my part (I mean if Vanity Fair wins), for we are going to have a review of the book in class..My classmate will have Becky Sharp portrayed in our finals. hehe

I was hoping that The Bostonians would get more votes, to be honest.
I won't mind reading most books on the list but not reading another Woolf. Not sure if I will be tempted to read VF, FFTMC or WAD again.
I also read DM and Emma but I won't mind reading those again (and they are readily available on my reader too).
