I have to go with the book I nominated, The Tale Of Genji by Murasaki Shikibu, even though I know it may be difficult for many to achieve the ~70 page per day average to complete by the start of the discussion.

There was really a great selection this month, including a few that just did not make it into the top five. Bleak House is actually one of the two (Oliver Twist being the other) books by Dickens that I have never read. I will say that I am not cheering for Don Quixote. That is no reflection on the book, it is just bad timing for me personally. I reread that a few years ago. So I am not too keen on reading it again so soon, yet it was long enough ago that I would not want to try and just wing it for the discussion.
