I stand corrected! I feel like it's a good thing either way; if we found different books to choose from then there's more to discover from seeing each other's nominations and lists, but if we found some matching books it means we were on the same wavelength and that bodes well too.
The list I was deciding on included
To Calais, in Ordinary Time by James Meek (I loved the synopsis and it fit the topic so perfectly leading me to almost nominate it, but I liked the other three previews better),
They Came Like Swallows by William Maxwell,
Camille, La Dame aux Camélias by Alexandre Dumas fils,
A Fortunate Man by John Berger, and
A Country Doctor's Notebook by Mikhail Bulgakov (which I thought was interesting not only because we haven't read something by Bulgakov since our very first month so long ago, but also because it was based on real experiences as a doctor in more rural Russia just before revolution which would've been an interesting book to read and contrast with Doctor Zhivago... but I thought perhaps it might be a bit much barely-pre-revolutionary Russian doctor literature in such a short time
).
I also was thinking of more infamous literature too and at the top of my mind was Lady Chatterly's Lover, but I found so many disease-related books.
