For an individual book I chose "Sense and Sensibility" because I haven't read this book in ages and I love Jane Austen 
For a series, I chose Lord of The Rings simply because I have always wanted to read these books and it would be nice to follow up with the discussions from "The Hobbit".
However; "To Kill a Mockingbird" sounds like a wonderful choice too

I went with Sense and Sensibility because I've always liked the book and it has been several years since I read it. To Kill a Mockingbird is also a great book, I've just read it more recently. 
For series, I went with Narnia because I like CS Lewis, I wasn't all that crazy about The Lord of the Rings, and we just did a Philip Pullman series.

It looks to me as if the vote is basically no contest!
They are all good choices though. Personally, I prefer LOTR over Narnia as literature, but Narnia is still a lot of fun.
I have really enjoyed re-reading The Hobbit. There are all kinds of things I had forgotten.

I voted for LOTR as the series to read, because, well, just I like it a lot 
And as for the separate book I think (can't remember for sure  ) I picked "Sense and Sensibility" - I haven't read any Austen and I'm thinking this could be a good, well, reason to read something she wrote

Do you consider The Hobbit a book in its own right, separate from the Lord of the Rings series, or a prequel of that series? For the individual book I think it is about time we did I capture the castle, a book that has been mentioned a lot previously, and if you don't want to continue on from the Hobbit with the Lord of the Rings trilogy, I'd like to do the Narnia series, especially as Prince Caspian is still screening. The question is, which book would you start it with? Magician's Nephew or the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe?
