I nominate Brave New World by Aldous Huxley.

I second both Brave New World and Master and Margarita.

I Like to read Christmas books in December. So I am nominatingA Christmas Memory

Nominating again the book that almost won last month, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. I actually *don't* like to read Christmas books.

Except Dickens and Dylan Thomas. If someone else nominates A Christmas Carol I'll likely second it. (A Child's Christmas in Wales is too short.)

I'll second Brave New World and nominate The Three Musketeers.

Second Jekyll and Hyde.

I'll second Brave New World and The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. If anyone's already read Jekyll & Hyde, try the Audible version by Richard Armitage, it's AMAZING.
Aww I have to second The Master and Margarita too. This seems like a good group to read that with :)

I second The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and The Three Musketeers

Richard Armitage is an excellent narrator!

looks like my Truman Capote novel is getting no love. I am throwing a second to Brave New World. I have always wanted to read it

I second Brave New World and The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde! I also nominate The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas.

Would be nice to finish the year with a bang, so I nominate The Brothers Karamazov

I second The Master and Margarita, The Count of Monte Cristo and The Three Musketeers

I second:
- The Brothers Karamazov (of course:)
- The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
- Brave New World

I nominate The Adventures of Tom Sawyer

and second: The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and The Three Musketeers

I like to have a more broader view in literature, so I like to support non-English language nominations (English being predominant here. :-)

So, I second The Brothers Karamazov.

Monte Cristo and Musketeers would be great too, but I can't second every great book, so, this time I'll stick to TBR ones! However, I do recommend them!

I second The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde

I second Brave New World

I'll totally second A Christmas Memory, I've recently dug into Capote beyond In Cold Blood and would love to keep it going!

I second Slaughter house five

I second The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde

I'll second The Master and Margarita and Slaughterhouse-Five.

I nominate A Christmas Carol (someone had to)
I second everything else, because they would all be interesting to read: The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, The Three Musketeers, The Master and Margarita, Slaughterhouse-Five, A Christmas Memory, Brave New World, The Brothers Karamazov, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and The Count of Monte Cristo.

I second the Strange case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde as well as the Count of Monte Cristo
