[Mariella]

Hello, everyone! Ready to start again with out monthly readings?
Let's begin with the nominations. For the eligible titles, have a look at our bookshelf and our "Authors-vs-Birthdays" spreadsheet.

[Chuck]

I nominate O Pioneers! by Willa Cather, 159 pgs

Since we're into December if folks are looking for super short ones from the December list here are a couple: Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions, 96 pgs
The Story of Babar, 48 pgs

[Jack]

I would be up for oh pioneers—that was on my to-read pile.

[Joshua]

As a native Nebraskan, I'm ashamed I've never read Willa Cather

[Kimberly]

I nominateOn Love by Alain de Botton. First published in 1993. 194 pages.

Thank you all! And many thanks, @Chuck for your observations: I'll add these two other titles among the poll options.
Before closing this thread (sorry, we're in a rush!) I'd also like to suggest another short book by a December-born author: The Great Gatsby by F. S. Fitzgerald.

[Joshua]

Should we just not have a book this month and start in the new year? that way we won't have to rush especially with the holidays coming up

[Mariella]

Ops, @Joshua…
I've already created a poll. Let's see what comes out: maybe a short book is the perfect solution.
