If I may change the subject to the topic of this thread...
I remember that last year I nominated The Brothers Karamazov for December, and found that I was way too busy preparing for Christmas to read it. (It didn't get many votes anyway.)
I therefore suggest to the voters that they keep in mind that December is a busy month, and maybe a shorter work would be in order.
For that reason, and because it is Christmastime, after all, I voted for A Christmas Carol.
