    I am really undecided; wouldn't mind reading any of these.

    I voted for Orhan Pamuk's novel because it's the only book of the list I have read and also because it's an exciting read.

    Do you want to read it again?

    I haven't made up my mind as to which one to vote for yet.

    Oh I thought you were asking for recommendations. I read Snow last year and it's quite fresh in my mind. I won't be re-reading it again anytime soon, or at all. I was thrilled by the story though and I like the flowing prose and mysterious characters.

    Not recommendations, no. This is something we do annually. Read a book together over the holiday season and discuss it here

    I read Pamuk's My Name is Red before so might be tempted to read Snow as well.

    Cool. I did not know about this annual ritual. Pardon me I'm quite a newbie. But if members do decide to read and discuss Snow, this just makes it easier for me to participate.

    Since The Snow Queen is not available at the library and I have Pamuk's Snow, I am voting for that one.

    *edit*

    And that's a tie.

    More votes needed, folks!

    I didn't vote for that... Seems like it won't be available here until February.

    So, anyone interested in reading Snow by Pamuk?
