I'd like to second Watership Down, but it was published in 1972...?

[Kaseadillla]

Yes, looks like Watership Down has an original publish date of 1972 so should be in the other thread.

[Marcos]

Funny, it has been in the polls twice (March and May 2017), in the Classics. May have been before the 1970 border.

Haha, by that time books were getting little more then 10 votes each, or even less.

[Daisy]

I second The Grapes of Wrath. Love me some John Steinbeck! :D

[Thea]

I second Catch-22, Middlemarch, and The Grapes of Wrath. (All have been sitting on my book shelf for some time now.)
