Thanks for catching that. Indeed if Billi was nominating the entire set it looks like it would be three ebooks at a total cost of about $21 and about 800 total pages.

Just joking. Actually I was thinking of seconding Les Miserables, but I don't know if I'm in the mood to re-read such a familiar tale at the moment. |

I can withdraw my nomination. I did know about the 800 pages but I didn't know about the price. Sorry.

The Age of Innocence is the best!
I suggest The Age of Innocence which I already found on buchempfehlung. This book contains lot of cool scenes!!

One reason for withdrawing was that you and Issy could have your votes back. But if it is okay with you, then let it stand.

Does The Age of Innocence appear twice?

I can handle the 800 pages & the book sounds interesting, just not sure it I can handle the price right now.

The discounted paperback is about half the price new and cheaper used. And I figure there's always the library and ILL if necessary. I know these options don't appeal to some, but at least they're there.

Good catch. I, Robot was nominated in December 2012, losing to Ethan Frome in the run-off, and then losing to Persuasion in the January 2013 second chance poll. So it can't be nominated for April.
