In previous iterations of voting, I've had to say something like "the vote was really close" in order to console folks whose first place was not chosen. Well, most of you chose the winner as your first place, so I don't think it will be too shocking for anyone to learn that our next book club read will be The Age of Innocence by Edith Wharton.
This book is in the public domain, so you can find it on The Internet Archive. My local library had about ten different editions with a copy or two of each, so if you're a library user, you'll probably be able to get it that way, too.

Thanks once again to all who voted! Who's in for this round of CBBC?
Time to go to the library! Thanks for the graphs- the distribution of votes was interesting! I'm trying to read a classic each month this year- this gives ne February! I read Wuthering Heights for January. Thank goodness that's over with.
ReplyDeleteI didn't like Wuthering Heights either!
DeleteWuthering Heights is one of the most miserable pieces of literature I've ever read. I first tackled it as a teen in high school. I decided to revisit it as an adult to see if it was better than I remembered. IT WAS WORSE.
DeleteCodex: I won't reread it but would like to pop in from time to time unless that's against the "rules"?
ReplyDeleteI'm (re)reading it right now but I won't be able to participate much, unfortunately. But it is a wonderful book! I'll be with the CBBC in spirit!
ReplyDeleteOoh! I'm excited! I wonder if I might even have my old copy of this book. I'm definitely due for a reread- I probably read it 30 years ago. I think this will be a book that most people will like.
ReplyDeleteI am in! I have never read this book and I am looking forward to reading with all you cool bloggers. (This is Dulcie. I don’t blog but I’m a little bit cool anyway.)
ReplyDeletePerfect timing! I’m going to a bookstore with Allison today (!!!) I just checked my bookshelf to see if I had it and discovered that I had 2 copies of Walden. WTF? (Ted said he had to read it in college, and the other looks like it belonged to my dad…so I guess I’ll keep that one and put Ted’s in a LFL.
ReplyDeleteExciting! Oddly my library only had ebooks available - there is a wait for the physical copies! I'm looking forward to checking this out since Nance spoke so highly of it!
ReplyDeleteYay! I do like Wharton, and this book is a favourite. I hope others like it as well. I'm very in!
ReplyDeletePerfect! When I mentioned to my daughter what title I was hoping to be reading she said she had a copy of the book and passed it on to me. I'm ready to go!
ReplyDeleteI'm here for this!
ReplyDeleteI've gone ahead and ordered it from my library!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm in!
