I'd like to go back to some of the great novels. Here are five I suggested in 2008:

An American Tragedy by Theodore Dreiser
The Heart of the Matter by Graham Greene
Death Comes for the Archbishop by Willa Cather
The Age of Innocence by Edith Wharton
The Portrait of a Lady by Henry James

My library has "The Heart Of The Matter", "The Age Of Innocence" and "The Portrait Of A Lady". Prefer one of the first two but will also see what other people put up...
