done voting: of course I voted for Poe's Narrative..
"The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in mind at the same time and still retain the ability to function. One should, for example, be able to see that things are hopeless and yet be determined to make them otherwise."

So, most of us want to spend the month of August reading The Hunchback?
Edgar Huntly! Long live CBB. Classic American Gothic.
MSDGreen is here
It looks like it's going to be THOND, but I've got The Woman in Black on order. I thought it stood a good chance of winning, and have wanted to read it for a while, so I went ahead and bought it. It looks like I'm going to scare the bejezus out of myself with no-one to discuss it with though,
, so I may make less sense then usual on postings. I would like to read THOND too, but I have so many books on the go that I might get them mixed up, so apologies up front if Quasimodo appears in 19th century London, tracing his Jewish roots, (Daniel Deronda), or a ghostly woman (in black) appears in an Austenesque setting, pining after Captain Wentworth, or Lily Bart turns up in Notre Dame Cathedral, looking for a rich husband, or Pablo Neruda starts reciting poetry to Anne Elliot.........sorry, I've had a glass of wine
.
I am on the fence about hunchback, don't know yet if I really want to comit myself to reading this one. If I happen to come acorss the book when I am out in time for the dicussion then maybe I will pick it up, but I probably won't go out of my way for it.
I was really pulling for Poe come through in this one.

Hi folks. This is the first site I came back to after my adventures in mass failure. I cannot do anything but Wilkie tho, for now. I may not be around much right off. I need some time to sort things out and rebuild my data base.
If anyone is coming to Philadelphia anytime soon, let me know. I need new friends and real human interaction. My strength has been taxed.

Going once...

Yay for Poe! Hopefully the scales do not get tipped in the next couple of days. Though I am going to have to wait untill I get back from vaccation to start reading it. I am already taking too many books with me.

Is it Poe then? I may not join in, as I didn't get the book. I went ahead with TWIB and THOND. I have the book of the first one, and listened to the audio version of the 2nd. Although, I suppose if it's online here I can, I'd forgotten about that.
Hello all,
I stumbled onto this thread and it looks intriguing and I will second Wessexgirl's question; Is it Poe?
Personally, either Hugo or Poe is fine with me.
I found my copy of the Poe "Narrative".
Since I am new to the Month/ Novel thread, I'm not quite sure how it works other than I suppose we simply start reading and posting our thoughts, questions, observations, etc.
Thanks
Gilliatt
