And even though I'm hoping for an excuse to read a western, I'll third Cranford. The TV adaptation was superb, and it would be interesting to read the source book.

There are some differences in the TV adaptation, but there is still quite a bit of humour in the source book.

I would expect some differences, especially since they were careful to say that it was a combination of Cranford and the sequel. And, inevitably, the needs of TV and TV budgets tend to limit the number of actual characters and subplots.

But I'm still hoping for a western.

Riders of the Purple Sage? Didn't we already read this? It's the one with the Mormons right?

That's the one. I thought so at first, too; then I realized it was a group read not under the aegis of the book club. There's a link to the discussion upthread.

But I must say that having read it and discussed it at MR already, I hope it's not the selection.

At the first mention of Mormons and the book having been discussed already I though Riders of the Purple Sage was being confused with A Study in Scarlet.

I haven't seen the tv series but am glad to hear that it's superb; Dame Judi Dench being a part never hurts!

Ha! The colors in the titles didn't occur to me. Just the Mormons and the discussions.
