Mark, this book appears to have more than 600 pages and might be more suitable for our tri-monthly read. We are currently taking nominations in that category here: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Since October is the month of Halloween, how about a classic horror great, Ghost Stories of an Antiquary by MR James?

Hi Mark. James Joyce is on our recently read list, so I can't add Dubliners to the poll.
