In terms of literary merit, the only other nomination this month to equal
Persuasion is
Middlemarch. I'll happily reread either, but
Persuasion is shorter.
Classics can come in a lot of forms and I have no issue with any book on this month's list, but to dismiss
Persuasion as "a dreary romance" shows you don't know whereof you write. I assume you've never read it?
