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.

Come on, folks, a little love for the Forsyte Saga. Issybird is right, this is a compelling read, and a worthy selection.

I will second The Man of Property.
BTW, the list in the first post has it as _A_ Man of Property instead. |

There's a little over half a day to go and several terrific books need only one more nod. It would be great to get them into the poll....

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't The Red Cockade have three nominations already?
I'd hate to see my buddy Weyman left out of the voting on a technicality. EDIT: Oops! Never mind that moron stranger passing through. |

I am using my last nod to nominate The War of the Worlds by H. G. Wells. This is a classic and a very good read.

March 2017 Book Club Nominations
I'll give my 3rd and final nod to The War of the Worlds. I have that book on my iPad as a rather nice interactive app.

No kidding! And he thirded two that I will likely vote for. Both have been the basis for major BBC/PBS Series, and both have really good Audible versions, should you want/need to listen to the book. Forsyte has David Case as the narrator, and Cranford has Nadia May (Wanda McCaddon). These are two of the all time great narrators. If either one wins, I'll very likely listen rather than read, just because of my current circumstances.
