There's much here I would absolutely love to read, among both the fully nominated and the not-yet. I hope a few more make it to the vote.

I nominate book 1 of The Forsyte Saga, The Man of Property, by John Galsworthy. |
I did mean to suggest just
Man of Property. But having read it, I can't imagine not going on! (Not to worry, for those who don't know it; the first book is fine as a stand-alone.)

Also, here's an Audible link for the David Case narration of the first volume. Again, there are multiple versions if you have someone you prefer, though I find that hard to imagine, David Case being one of my favourite narrators of all time.

He's pretty much in a dead heat for first place, for me.
