I'd happily join the group too! I'm currently re-reading 'The Crimson Petal and the White' by Michael Faber; a very graphic neo-victorian novel focusing on prostitution in Victorian London. But I'd happily start a new book  I'll have a look in WHSmith or Watersons over the weekend and think up some suggestions! |

The link is working now. There are 269 possibles, in the offer! FWIW I would be happy with most of them. My suggestions (but please put yours) A Thousand Splendid Suns - Khaled Hosseini The Memory Keepers Daughter - Kim Edwards Notes From An Exhibition - Patrick Gale The Ghost - Robert Harris I suppose we could collect suggestions and then put up a poll? Anyway - I'll be away whilst you're deciding, so I'll just go with the flow on my return. |

I agree a poll would be a good idea! In time we'll most probably come round to reading all the suggestions anyway! I've read A Thousand Splendid Suns and it's wonderful! Would happily read it again; also, the other ones you've suggested sound great DM. I'd be keen to re-read The Time Traveller's Wife, so if lots of people haven't read that I'd highly recommend it! Others from the list: On Chesil Beach - Iain McEwan Blind Faith - Ben Elton (for a light read!) Half of a Yellow Sun - Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie Like I said, I like all of DM's suggestions too Especially Notes from an Exhibition. |

I loved The Time Traveller's Wife too, and will happily re-read it. Oh - and I fancied On Chesil Beach and Atonement (have you seen the film? - fantastic!) too, but thought I'd suggested enough |

This is spooky - I am sure I posted in this thread this morning, but my post has vanished (and I didn't swear or anything, honest!) I had said that I looked at DM's link, and there are so many books that I wondered whether if anyone who wants to join in forwards their 2 best choices to whoever is going to do the poll (and I know DM is going on holiday on Thursday!) and then we could vote from those - the first and second being the ones to be read initially. I expect some peoples' choices will be the same, but I should think we could still have a good list to vote from. What do you all think? (I would volunteer to do the poll, but I'd need help because I've never done one!) |

Excellent idea, Angie. Polls really aren't difficult, I'd be glad to help you or do it myself. Must go on Amazon and see what those books are about; will do so after lunch here. |
