Future reads: I need your views

Posted by Kate on November 27, 1997 at 10:37:10:

I'd like your input into what we might read in the future on this board.

I have some suggestions, and if you like (or dislike) one or other of them, please give your views.

But I would also really appreciate your suggestions of other titles.

Here are some ideas

Oscar and Lucinda
(movie opens on New Year's Eve)

The English Patient

Tom Jones (before the A&E series is shown in the US)

Tenant of Wildfell Hall

Northanger Abbey
