BarkingMadRead @Cuilin great choices! I‘m not adding Anna Karenina, only because it was a buddy read in the last couple years, either with me or someone else, I can‘t remember! 3w

Cuilin @BarkingMadRead no worries (edited) 3w

Ruthiella Per

Ruthiella Looking forward to whatever we end up choosing! 😃 (edited) 3w

TheAromaofBooks The Turn of the Screw, The Maltese Falcon, and The Crime at Black Dudley were on the “Time Magazine Best Mystery Books of All Time“ list that @dabbe posted the other day and that I thought sounded intriguing. 3w

Ruthiella @TheAromaofBooks Ooh! Classic crime novels are also a great idea!

dabbe @TheAromaofBooks #greatminds! 🤎🍁🧡 3w

TheAromaofBooks @dabbe - You have some good ones - some I've never read and some I wouldn't mind rereading!! 3w

dabbe @TheAromaofBooks You're way more on the ball than me; I haven't read ANY! 😂 3w

TheAromaofBooks @dabbe - I'll admit some were so far back in the mists of time that I don't really remember them at all 😂 3w

BarkingMadRead @dabbe I added most of them 🤣 I read Pickwick last summer, and I just finished Pillars in August. Is there another Follett you‘d like to read instead? 3w

dabbe @BarkingMadRead I've not read ANY Follett, so any other one will do.
Maybe for Dickens: OLIVER TWIST, his GHOST STORIES, or LITTLE DORRIT.

Thanks! 🤩😂🤗 3w

Ruthiella @dabbe You‘ve just planned the brigade‘s reading for the next three years. 🤣 3w

dabbe @Ruthiella Once I started, I couldn't stop!!! 🤩😂🤗 3w

julieclair How are we ever going to choose? 3w

Bookwormjillk @dabbe I love the idea of Dickens- adding David Copperfield to the mix since I just read Demon Copperhead. Also One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, The Color Purple, Breakfast at Tiffany's, and Tender Is The Night. Yes I know I posted on the other thread too I just can't stop myself. 3w

BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk nominations are easy, it‘s the voting that‘s going to be hard 🤣 3w

Bookwormjillk @BarkingMadRead yeah and then we have to read them 😂 3w

dabbe @Bookwormjillk So many fabulous, unread books out there! 😱 3w

Bklover What @dabbe said. Would love to read Follett and Collins. And I‘d love to read One Hundred Years of Solitude (again). I love that book, and it‘s fun to read with others. Voting for all these great suggestions is going to be tough! 3w

dabbe @Bklover 🤎🍁🧡 3w
