The Bostonians is a masterly novel.
Not masterly enough for people to vote for, apparently.

Damn, missed this one. Would have been between casterbridge (my favourite hardy), germinal and three men in a boat so, I’m not sure I’d have lived the needle.

Pretty poor showing on this one.
A Study In Scarlet is such an odd book, the massive section in the middle where suddenly this is a story about Mormon settlers in the wild west, and no clue as to why for an age. This is on balance a good thing though. It's much better than The Sign of the Four, which is one of the most racist novels I've ever read.

Fans of Three Men On A Boat, I would recommend the sequel, Three Men on the Bummel, if you haven't read it already.
