Yes, Piyangie, I support Invisible Man, thank you
What about The Charterhouse of Parma by Stendhal for a husky?
Piyangie, I was just reviewing the thread. Looks like Resurrection should have one vote from Mike that hasn’t been counted yet.
Mod
Oh, it was there earlier. Some mistake must have happened when updating. Sorry about that. Will rectify it. Thanks.
Mod
We read Stendhal's Red and Black this year, Lorraine. So we will take a break from him for next year. We could consider him for the year after if you wish. Better to look for newer authors than to read the same author. Diversity makes things interesting.

Thanks Piyangie. Makes sense. Will look for another suggestion then.

I rated it five stars, and I don't do that very often.

What about The Golden Notebook by Doris Lessing? Husky.

Great to hear that, Rosemarie. Certainly encouraging to have you and Mike rating it as 5 stars.

I'm up for Barnaby Rudge. Amazon UK sells the Wordsworth Classic edition for £3.99.

Barnaby Rudge gets a nomination and four supports within 3 hours? Wow! This Charles Dickens guy looks like he'll become popular someday.

Wow. Barnaby Rudge looks relevant too. Can I support that also? Not sure I will have time to read anything other than these next year! Ha!

There seems to be a clear top three hefty and four husky here. I appreciate it includes a woman and person of color :) and I look forward to seeing the schedules soon.
