IMO some of the nominated titles don't qualify as romance, but no one asked me.
I was actually thinking of nominating Gone with the Wind but was put off by the length of the book. So I thought D H Lawrence might be OK.

I think the DHL titles qualify because they're primarily about romantic relationships. The Hemingway, not so much.


I absolutely loathe Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights, but I won't try to sway anyone's votes.

I've read two of Dianna Gabaldon's Outlander series. I'm not a big reader but love time travel.

Considering how poorly the book I voted for is doing in the poll, I should have nominated I, the Jury!

I went with one of my all time favorites that I can read over and over - Pride and Prejudice. Austen's humor is just infectious.

I read it in high school. It was actually kind of shocking how much more depth of character you found in Scarlett and Rhett than in the beloved movie version. Both great in thier own way I suppose.

Do it! I read it last month and consider it one of the best books I've ever read.

It is one of the worst books ever written that has the audacity to be called a classic.

Oddly enough, I quite enjoyed it. The film adaptation happens to be among my top 10 favorite films, mainly for the acting and the atmosphere, which it captured almost perfectly.

Since here is another chance to read/share Forester with others, I voted for Room With a View.

It seems to me that there's a much larger spread in the votes this month.

Alas, my nomination is running 4th at the moment.

Chevrolet created both the Vega and the Corvette. Non-Americans won't get that.
