Update: THE WHEEL HAS SPOKEN! I will be reading The Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer.
You have some good ones listed here! I read The Scarlet Pimpernel when I was a teenager, but that was so long ago I have no memory of it whatsoever.
ReplyDeleteGood luck! We'll know very soon what we're reading!
I would be happy if I got The Scarlet Pimpernel - I read a few pages of it last year and got sidetracked. Good luck to you, too!
