actually, we may very well be reading A Suitable Boy in July - following on from War and Peace in May/June. What better than being able to say you have read the longest book written in the English language - oh - and War & Peace too. hee.

Heck, why don't we go the whole way and read The Stand in August :)

Out of your list, I still have Midnight's Children sitting in the house to be read, and I do like Camus. I also have another 90 books in my 'to be read' case so plenty to choose from.

btw which era is war and peace set in? was it contemporary to tolstoys period, ie crimean war etc.
