It is that time again! As we are ending our chunky reads of GWTW and FOG, it is time to go back to one chunky at a time. Remember chunkies are ~750 minimum. We will take nominations until Tuesday, November 9.
Thanx all!

More than one request? Slap me if not, but these are just suggestions.

The Forsyte Saga, which I have on my shelf and would love to actually get to

and then there are 3 Dickens novels, in no particular order, that I might not read without a group and would really like to:

Our Mutual Friend
The Pickwick Papers
Bleak House

I would like to nominate A Suitable Boy and The Far Pavilions.

Okay, this one barely makes the cut, at 752 pgs, but I will nominate it because I have it on my bookshelf, and because I want to read it for Tera's Presidential Challenge here on COL, so if it is a chunky read also, I could kill two birds with one stone! LOL

John Adams by David McCullough

Sheila, I totally adore this book. If I hadn't read it already, I would totally support you with this.

But, I will nominate another David McCullough book, Truman. I've been wanting to read this for a long time and for a lot of the same reasons as Sheila wants to read John Adams.

Ooh, Amy, you know I could totally go for reading Truman. I just looked it up, and ended up ordering a used copy from Amazon for $.01 (plus shipping of course!LOL) But I'd be willing to pull John Adams out of the nomination and go for this instead (so we don't split the presidential vote). I know many people have read John Adams already, and if others would prefer to read this chunky Truman I am totally for it. :o)

These are great nominations... !

Since I read John Adams, I would totally go for Truman. I love McCullough.

I just requested A Suitable Boy. I've just started to be in an "Indian" mood.

Oh, and I nominate Queen: The Story of an American Family by Alex Haley. Would have nominated Roots but it's just shy of 750 pages.

Sheila are you saying you are willing to withdraw John Adams for Truman?

I'd go for Truman too!

Yes, Meg. I withdraw John Adams for Truman. :o)

Thank you Sheila.

Would love to read The Forsyte Saga!

Tonight is the last night for nominations!

When does this chunky read start?

Nominations closed, poll will be up soon.

Poll is up

The choice for Our Mutual Friend is incorrectly linked, but I'm not sure it really matters.

Thanks Elizabeth, I think I fixed it.
