Read Dead Souls, Wide Sargasso Sea and American Psycho so went for To Kill a Mockingbird, which is still on my TBR list and which I am amazed i still haven't read.

I can go for a few of these. I'll wait until more people vote to make my vote count more.

Why? Do you perhaps consider it too "romantic"?Originally Posted by papayahed
Don't worry you're not missing out on too much....
I'll gladly talk about Hitchhiker's Guide with anyone who cares to join in.
Hitchhiker's Guide takes the early lead. Wouldn't mind reading that either. Always been put off for some reason, although I have a copy somewhere.

Oh, gawds... The options are Hitchhiker's Guide and North and South at the moment???

No, I can't get past the writing. I've tried several times but can't get through the first few pages.

I would have liked to have read The Heart is a Lonely Hunter, but since it has no chance and I'm still reading the October selection and since I don't have all the time in the world I'm going to have to pass on November.Oh, gawds...

I think i read To Kill A Mockingbird on a yearly basis anyway. I've read Jean Rhys before and enjoyed her, and Wide Sargasso Sea is meant to be her magnum opus so i'll go for that
count me in!

Looking forward to reading this. I expect the discussion to run for about 100 pages though, considering it's a favourite for so many. The copy i have was my grandad's and it's very very well-thumbed! The old sci-fi junky.
