War and Peace - 28 November.

Its very long but the 50 pages I've read are great.

I've been thinking of various ways of running the 19th century book club next year. Here are some options that occurred to me (though you may come up with a much better one):

* Running it in exactly the same way. If so, I nominate some Dickens as I only just noticed that we haven't done any. Maybe *Oliver Twist* or *Great Expectations*.

* Rotating the leadership of the discussion so that different people take on different books. I like this idea as it is quite a lot of work to do all of them.

* Reading 19th century books by women. George Eliot, George Sand, the Brontes, Austen, Elizabeth Gaskell, Louisa May Alcott, Harriet Beecher Stowe. There's a lot of talent there.

* Reading 19th century books in the sf&f genre. *Frankenstein*, *Dracula*, *Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde*.

Please feel free to make suggestions!
