Slaughterhouse-Five is my nomination.

We need a good winner this month as it is part of the full deck challenge I think.

I nominate the Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.

I'll second Slaughterhouse Five

I would like to nominate A Book of Common Prayer
Joan Didion

I would like to nominate As I Lay Dying

Strictly you should only nominate or second. But I'll let you off this time

Oh sorry. I've always thought we could do both, I quite often do that.

I would like to nominate Tender Is the Night

I'll second Tender Is the Night - alot of books frm my TBR list here;p

I'd like to nominate Howards End.

Oh...I just checked The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde was 1st published in 1886. That would make it pre 1900? Can I revert my seconded vote?

I'll second/third this one too :)

Burger's DaughterNot sure if it already counts as a classic, but I would like to nominate

I would like to nominate The Bonfire of the Vanities

I nominate Rebecca

I'll second Howard's End

Apologies Diana, but I'm not sure what Remarque is.

Isn't Remarque an author?

I would happily second bonfire of the vanities. Loved it when I first read it

I think this is in reference to A Time to Love and a Time to Die by Erich Maria Remarque, which is already going though to next month's poll.

Thanks Pink. Hadn't really looked at the author!

I'm nominating Rebecca

I will second The Secret Agent

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

I will second Slaughterhouse-five.
