Nomination of Classics for 2012

[Dini, the master of meaning]

Hi, Rory group members. It's almost the end of the year and thus it's time again to vote for our 2012 reading list. What we need you to do is nominate *SIX* classics and *SIX* modern books from the official WB reading list to make up our book selections for the whole of next year. Please list each six in order of most wanted on down.

The top six of each will be the selections for the year. The moderators will decide which book for which month and post the list before the new year. Please understand that if you do not nominate six in each that you will not be voting for all the months of the year. That is your choice, but you only get one vote per month this time, so I recommend using them all.

Below is the list of the classics from the main list that we have yet to read as a group. Nominate your six from this list. The voting will end one month from today on December 25, 2011.
