[The Good Citizen]

The book I wanted to nominate, The Sense of an Ending by Julian Barnes, was impossible to find as a free e-book, so my nomination is either American Pastoral by Phillip Roth or As I Lay Dying by William Faulkner. Or something else. I don't know!

I also want to know if The Good Citizen has any nominations. Any ideas, TGC?

Poll has already been decided by the looks of it.

I would have nominated "Drop City" by TC Boyle as I have just started reading it

Tricky trying to nominate books with others in mind, so I'd just list some I loved (*mind goes blank...*):

Ham on Rye - Bukowski
One Hundred Years of Solitude - Marquez
All Quiet on the Western Front - Remarque
Birdsong - Faulks
Grapes of Wrath - Steinbeck
Down and Out in Paris and London - Orwell
The Trial - kafka

But I think the list in the poll is a really good one. I'd like to read "American Pastoral", but I love Steinbeck and would happily re-read what I have read, or "Cannery Row" I want to read too so that would be good.
