I nominate Swann's Way by Marcel Proust. Another attempt to read one of the greatest writers of the 20th century.
Sachin, "1984" has already been read by the group, so it is not eligible.Especially the more recent members, please have a look at the Group Bookshelf before nominating. The link is on the top right hand corner of the page, just above the "Discussion" link - in the desktop browser version of the site.

Allison wrote: "The Diary of Anne Frank by Anne Frank"Hi Allison, This one was read already in this group, and it was too recently to qualify for the bookshelf catch-up category. You’re welcome to nominate a different book. Thanks!

It could be nominated in the "Bookshelf catch up" thread.

:-)Having two mods is like that!
I listed the non eligible books in the "Bookshelf Catch up" thread, based on the rule of not repeating any book reread in the last 12 months.
But let's stick to Joanna's guidance.
