WOL Book Club- 1st Book POLL

Postby MinnietheMinx » Mon Oct 10, 2021 11:01 am

There were 7 classics suggested in the other thread (by my count), I've included 5 for voting on. The one with the most votes at 12 tomorrow will be chosen.

I did google for plot summarys but most of them gave away a lot of the actual plot, if someone finds a good site let me know and I'll post the summarys.

Oooh great choices.

I went for Jane Eyre, love that book, but haven't read it in a while and would love to discuss it.

Brilliant choices!!

I'm gunning for TKAM as I started it a few months ago and have been kinda picking at it ever since. Can't seem to finish it because I can't figure out what all the fuss is about :-8 Hoping you guys will open my philistine eyes!

Jane Eyre is a goodie as well, haven't read it in years! And I think this is the perfect weather for period drama so I wouldn't mind snuggling up with it.

Hurah for the Book Club :o)ll

I voted for To Kill A Mocking Bird too. And now I have the Boo Radleys song stuck in my head :o0
It's been years since I read it but I'll have to get a new copy as my little sister is using mine in school.... the copy is actually older that she is :-8

I went for the Scarlet Letter as I've never read it and have always meant to.

:duh: just saw Jane Eyre won. I'll pick up a copy later today so.
