Hmmm. Promising, issybird. Now I'm torn -- read the Thandie Newton version? Or the Nadia May version? Or the Wanda McCaddon version? Decisions, decisions, decisions. (Oh, and even though I'm kind of still hoping for Whose Body to win, I intend to read this as well. )

Just a quick note. Jane Eyre is a long book. It's the end of August and will soon be September. For parents in the US, you won't have time to read this tome because you'll have kids that will need getting ready for school and then help with homework and other stuff. You'll need to give more time to the kids.
Also, September is a popular month for birthdays and you'll need to deal with birthdays and won't have time for such a tome. And then there's the transitioning from summer to fall. So overall, September is a really busy month. Too busy for such a tome. Last edited by JSWolf; 08-29-2017 at 04:31 PM. |

Perhaps you meant tome, Jon? Yes, I'm sure that's just autocorrect...
But hey, if you want shorter, there's always Lord Peter Wimsey and Whose Body. |

Just remember, if you vote for the winning book, your expected to read it and participate in the discussion. So if Jane Eyre wins, then the 8 of you are expected to read it and participate in the discussion. So if you voted and won't be reading/participating, please say so now.

If you did vote and you started to read but stopped because you didn't like the book, you can post in the discussion why you stopped reading. And for those new to the book club, it's sleazy to vote knowing you'll not read/participate. I voted for two books I would read if they won and would participate. That's not to say I would not read any of the others. But there are two books I won't read and they are She and Jane Eyre. |

I thought this was interesting, from wiki on The Man Who Folded Himself:
Spoiler:
So which version would the book club read? |
