Not sure if everyone has seen this. ann Glos

Thanks Ann Not sure which classic I'll go for yet - think I have one of them on the bookshelf though so that will probably decide it! Daisy

Thanks Dee, not overkeen on Thomas Hardy so i doubt if I will read that one. Unless it sudenly appears in a charity shop. Ann Glos

Ann, Return of the Native is one of my course books, so I will read that one, not sure I will have time to read Jamaica Inn I will also try to read the other 2 as well Enjoy your holiday ;-)))

I am actually not sure if I will be able to read any. i don't like taking library books out of the country and we go away on Thurday for 2 weeks. might be ableto do something when we get back on 17th. I'll see. I was hoping one of mine would be chosen as I already have them in paperback. Not to worry. Yes choose your own from the two top classics. i have read jamaica inn, might get it and read it again though as I did enjoy it many years ago. Ann Glos

if i get time i ll read jamica inn - also fancied that one really pleased with the other two - fingersmith is a bit racy in parts but sarah waters is such a great new author off to the library to see what they got

Hi Ann, why not let us choose our own classic from those 2? I will read Jamaica Inn, but couldn't vote for it as it was my suggestion. Maz. XX

Do you want a revote or to choose your own? Ann Glos

I don't think anyone else is interested. Las month we seemed to gain a couple but have heard no more from them so presumably they have lost interest. Ann glos
