I will second Ivanhoe. I would have pushed Persuasion along (about time I read some Jane Austen) and War of the Worlds along, but both are already fully nominated.


I will use one of my nominations for The Black Arrow by Robert Louis Stevenson.

The Black Arrow: A Tale of the Two Roses is an 1888 novel by the Scottish author Robert Louis Stevenson, which can be classed genre-wise as a historical adventure novel and a romance. It is available as an ebook for free from a number of sources (Inkmesh).
