[Koa]

I voted for the Virgin Suicides cos it always attracted me and in July I might have time and will to join the club for once...Though I've also been planning on reading the Karamazov Brothers for ages now...

[Stanislaw]

[Nightshade]

Im waiting to vote I dont want Great expectations or all the kings Men particulaly so Im waiting to see the change
And altough Im not planning on voting for it just thought Id say that Faust is available online in English (http://onlinebooks.library.upenn.edu/webbin/book/search?title=Faust&tmode=words)

[Jack_Aubrey]

The Brothers K! It's sooooo long. Seriously, I will be dissapointed if it wins.

[Jay]

Karamazov or Dickens? Gosh :eek:, my list of sinners is getting looong :D ;)

After this I'm so doing a Papaya and voting on the last day in the future.

Hey wait a minute we can't all wait until the last day - that won't work!!! Besides it's not working out so well for me either, last month I missed the poll altogether and the month before it didn't work....

I thought we were going to make a voting pact???

[Nightshade]

yes okaydokay that would be good... Im not voting till I read C&P though its not right.........

[papayahed]

yes okaydokay that would be good... Im not voting till I read C&P though its not right.........

Indeedy, wait for the outcome and then decide if the result is acceptable or not and vote (veto ;)) accordingly :D

[Jay]

Doing a campaigne, Peoples from all around the world, vote All The King's Men or we're stuck with Karamazov brothers!

footnote: I already borrowed ATKM so don't make me drag it all the way across the country for nothing, be nice and vote for it!

[Scheherazade]

Come on, people!

Less talking, more voting!!! :D

Last week!

[Jack_Aubrey]

If my choice loses again I don't know what I'll do. I just don't.

[Jay]

Nominate another one and make a better campaign? :)

I already read the first chapter of ATKM, it's not bad though I've read better :p
No one else wants to vote for King's Men? :p

[Nightshade]

Not me!
Lets se I have a copy of dune already
I have ordered Weaveworld I can get the brothers K at the drop of a hat though persnally I thinl I'd rather read the Idiot I dont klnow maybe I wont vote as I dont want the suicides or all the kings mena and the likly hood of me joining in in july is slim anyway!

[Jay]

Dickens? Brothers K? Well, Dune might be ok... maybe... but what about All The King's Men? HINTYHINT :angel:

[papayahed]

Holy Crap a three way tie, then when I vote for All the Kings men a four way tie??

[titiana]

I vote for Brothers Karamazov

[Scheherazade]

Going once...

[Fango]

Bah. Too thick. I voted "Great Expectations" because A) It's Charles Dickens. B) The reviews were excellent. C) I read the plot summary and found myself interested. D) A store on my block sells it cheaply (considering I live in Israel it is an achievement...).


Fango, eating glass since 1997.

[warofwrath]

My vote tied Karamazov with Curious Dog.
I just looked up Dostoyevsky on gutenberg.org and this is one of his books actually not there.

[Scheherazade]

Welcome to the Forum, Warofwrath! The Brothers Karamazov is available on this site: http://www.online-literature.com/dostoevsky/brothers_karamazov/


Going twice...
