You're welcome!!

This is not like a typical goodreads poll but I like to think that this is like the Iowa Caucuses:

We Have Always Lived in the Castle

I'll second The Wine-Dark Sea - I have a classic copy pictured above!

At 528 pages, that's a long group read.

I'll go along with The Wine-Dark Sea by Aickman.

The other passenger

We Have Always Lived in the Castle. :)

It's an anthology. I believe it's still legal to skip boring stories.

I sent out a message to all members of this group that the poll is up.

For those who voted in this thread, please cast your vote in the poll.

True, but the Oliver Onions collection we read last year was even longer. And the Henry James collection was probably fairly close in length.

I voted for the Guran collection (just because I mentioned it in the first place! ;-)) but don't mind if another book wins. I should note, though, that I've already read a number of the current contenders, and while I'm happy to chime in on what I remember, I'm not going to reread most of them.

I would happily read 'The Other Passenger' as that's new to me and I plan to read it anyway.
