Glad to have to you here, Bookatarian!
I've cast my vote as well, for my M.A. thesis supervisor's favourite book, which he has been trying to get me to read for a while! |

I'm going to sit this one out. I have so many books on my TBR list, and quite a few I want to read more than either of these, so see you next month .

Naturally I voted for my nomination, but Ivanhoe is excellent too.

I'm voting for Persuasion. Although I do want to read Ivanhoe, I leaned towards the one with the lesser page count.
It's a bit cowardly, but I'm yet to even start my Dostoyevsky nomination from a previous Literary bookclub vote so I'm several shades of embarrassed at the moment. |

I kept with my first vote Persuasion but wouldn't mind reading Ivanhoe, too, which I plan to read anyway this year. It's more a case of that I am a little bit more interested in reading a discussion about Persuasion than about Ivanhoe.

I hope more people will be persuaded to vote for Persuasion than Ivanhoe, but as it is a classic romance novel month it would seem either is fine with me.

I voted for Ivanhoe. The spoiler makes it sound very compelling, and I don't want to read Persuasion again.
