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). |

I will third A Movable Feast. Before the month ends I will be reading The Paris Wife by Paula McLain for the evening book club at my local library. It will be nice to get two perspectives on roughly the same subject matter.

Just a quick mistake that needs to be fixed. The War of the Worlds is in the MR library in a number of different formats.
Also, when linking to a search, you cannot use a search ID as that expires. None of the links to the MR library in posts 1 & 2 work. Last edited by JSWolf; 05-20-2012 at 04:07 PM. |
