Hardest choice ever in the group, I think! I'd like to read or reread almost 20 books! And it's still the 6th!

Let's be reasonable, though. :-) I'll second

The Plague, by Albert Camus - French Literature
The Illiad, by Homer - Classical Greek Literature
The Master and Margarita, by Mikhail Bulgakov - Russian Literature
Out of Africa, by Karen Blixen / Isak Dinesen - written in English, but Danish Literature

And also

The Bell Jar, by Sylvia Plath
Othello, by William Shakespeare
A Wizard of Earthsea, by Ursula K. Le Guin
A Study in Scarlet, by Arthur Conan Doyle

I second A Wizard of Earthseaand nominate Catch-22

I second Little Women (the Masterpiece adaptation will be airing here in April, I think, and it'd be great to read it beforehand!)

Thank you for this, these threads can get a bit overwhelming sometimes. I will second:
Othello and
The Master and Margarita

There are so many great nominations! But I will stick to these two :)

And if anyone is ever interested in doing a buddy read of a play, I would most likely be in, depending on how my time management skills are playing out in the real world at the time!

Hi, Quinn! "Alice" was the group read in February 2017.

Not eligible here, but you still can nominate it in the "Bookshelf Catchup" thread. :-)

This a tip for new members: Click on "Bookshelf" on the right hand top corner. You'll see all the previously read books.

Can I ask, if we're going to read Sherlock Holmes, have this group already read the beginning A Study in Scarlet ?I'm weird and would rather start there than with book 3 (The Adventures of) -- my OCD that's all.

I second Brave new world and The Iliad

I second Slaughterhouse V and A wrinkle in time, they've been hanging around my lists forever now.

You really do not have to read the Sherlock novels or stories in order. They don't build on each other in that way.

Yes, it's true. But the nominated Sherlock is A Study in Scarlet! :-)
