EVERYONE Has Read This but Me - The Catch-Up Book Club discussion

Hello Readers. This topic collects suggestions for the 6-month READ-A-LONG Book program, specifically from September 2024 to end of February 2025. The program is defined HERE. Top 4 books will be submitted for the poll.

Books that qualify for this category:

1. Must have a minimum of 800 pages but can be any genre, either classic or modern.

2. Have not been previously read by this group. Previously read books can be nominated in the Bookshelf Catch-Up thread. See the group's Bookshelf for previously read books.

3. Be reasonably well-read, with at least 50,000 ratings, to fit the "Everyone Has Read This but Me" claim.

Only one nomination is allowed per person, per category. If you nominate more than one book only your first nomination will be added toward the tracking post. Please continue to second as many nominations that interest you!

Page numbers are now required for every nomination. To find out how many pages a book has, go to the book's page on Goodreads. Look under the section titled "GET A COPY" and above the book's ISBN number.

Nominations end on July 16.
