That’s a great list. I loved Far from the Madding Crowd, Doctor Thorne and The Count of Monte Cristo, but there are lots of others on your list that I’ve either read or would like to read. I’m in the middle of Oliver Twist at the moment and enjoying it. Good luck on Monday!

I just read Doctor Thorne earlier this year – loved it! And Wives and Daughters is also excellent.

Ooh, I hope you get Martin Chuzzlewit, since I’m reading it right now!

Great list as always. I read North and South earlier this year and thoroughly enjoyed it.
We share Mary Barton this spin if no 11 comes our way on Monday.

Oh, what a great list. I love them all, but I’d probably choose Wives and Daughters because I’m really looking forward to reading that one. Like Christy, I read Doctor Thorne and really enjoyed it. Really, you can’t go wrong with any of the choices. Have a wonderful spin!

Doctor Thorne is WONDERFUL, possibly my favorite Trollope. I’ve heard Julian Fellows is adapting it after he finishes Downton Abbey, so I’m sure more people will be reading it soon. Also both the Gaskells are excellent, and Far From the Madding Crowd — so many good books on your list!

They do, indeed, all look great, Margaret. I’ll be keen to know which one comes up on the spin.

Doctor Thorne may just be my favorite book read this year, but I also loved 6,12,14, and 20. Good luck on Monday!

That’s a good list, they’re almost all chunksters, I’ve read eight of them. It’s Dickens heavy though and I avoid him.

What a wealth of fabulous books you have on your list–I’ve never read Lorna Doone, but curious about it, or Martin Chuzzlewit, or Parade’s End. It’s been so many years since I read One Years of Solitude that I really need to reread it, but I really enjoy magical realism.
Enjoy your spin!
