Oh, no, it makes no nevermind to me; I just thought I'd pop in with the reasoning. And we have to think of Jon.

More seriously, we've already had four mystery-ish titles this year and a fifth might send me screaming into the marsh (handily located behind my house). I just don't like mysteries that much anymore.

I'd like our classic to be a classic and not just a classic of its genre!
Well, I can understand that, but I'd argue that Sayers has stood the test of time as a classic, not just a classic of its genre. And you know you'll happily listen to a Nadia May narration of just about anything.

Are you sure you don't want to second the second?

I'll third the first, or second the second Dorothy Sayers, whichever is on the table.

The first is on the table, having been seconded already. The second is off the table, since I don't have another ticket to nominate with.

So, thank you very much for putting Lord Peter's first case on the table for this month.

I'll third Jane Eyre, since there's a Wanda McCaddon Audible version. And while I'm sure I must have read it in my youth, it's been at LEAST 50 years, so I suspect it will all be new.

I suspect because he didn't see mine, and Tom seems a bit behind in updating the master list. I think he's been more than a bit buried by other things.

Yes, I was a bit behind posting everything. Jane Eyre has already been fully nominated, so you have that vote back.

Thanks. In that case I third Crome Yellow on the strength of Karen Blixen's having liked it in Out of Africa. I've already started Jane Eyre. I thought to read a few pages but got sucked in.

Jane Eyre was a touchstone book for girls when I was young; I'm intrigued by the notion of getting a male perspective on it - and an adult male perspective at that. That could make for an interesting discussion.

I'm not totally unfamiliar with it. I saw the original movie with Elizabeth Taylor as Jane's friend in the orphan's school.

If I was to read Jane Eyre, which version/edition would be best to read?
