Since a book needs to be posted for our next discussion and no one else has volunteered to moderate, I've signed myself up for November and have chosen Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë as the selection. Although it is sort of a school book, assigned in nearly every English lit class everywhere and already heavily discussed, I chose it for a few reasons.

It is extremely rare for me to reread a book. There is so much good (and bad) literature out there that one lifetime isn't enough to devote to only a few titles. In my living room alone are 140 TBR books, and that's not including the uncounted ones scattered throughout the bedroom, the office, and the attic. I also don't keep books that have been read; I much prefer willing them to others for their own enjoyment. Wuthering Heights breaks both those rules for me. I've read it more than a dozen times and always keep a copy in my home. It's been so well-loved that I'm currently in possession of my third copy, which already has ripply pages.

When Daisy posted her list of best books ever, I couldn't come up with a comment so I didn't add my own thoughts to the thread. I constantly change my mind depending on my mood and genre phase (most recently, non-fiction featuring death but no destruction). Although I'd have a hard time settling on a list of, say, 20 favorite titles, I could start one, and I'd put Wuthering Heights at the top.

November will bring our 50th book discussion. 50 books. I can't believe our little blogging book club has lasted this long. It's very special to me, and I wanted to mark the occasion with a special book. I hope you'll join in.
