Classics for Beginners discussion

This is a thread for nominating a book that has been previously read by the group. No theme this month.

Nomination rules for this Thread- PLEASE READ RULES CAREFULLY
1. One nomination per person.
2. Classic books that are 50 years or older (please check if you are not sure).
3. Books can be of any length, but if a book wins and is over 600 pages, we will read it over a two month period.
4. No book from an author who we have read in the last 9 months.
5. To facilitate poll creation, please use a Goodreads link to add the nomination by clicking on 'add book/author' above the text box.
6. Please indicate whether or not you would be willing to lead the discussion if your nomination is chosen.

Just a reminder that you can nominate books that were read more than 3 years ago. Therefore, a book read before June 2016 can be nominated again. Go to the bookshelf (see upper right corner of this page) to see when your selection was last read.

A Grief Observed by C.S. Lewis
I am new to the group so I am uncertain if this would be a reread. I can not lead

Beth,

We have not previously read CS Lewis, so it would not apply. You can find a list of previous group reads here:
