Thank you.
Either sounds really good to me, but especially The Crucible, The Creation of the World and Other Business, After the Fall, and Incident at Vichy. I feel quite lenient with this poll, so any resolution seems enjoyable.
Thanks for posting the options, Scher.

All sounds good but having read 'The Crucible', 'All My Sons', 'A View from a Bridge' and 'Death of a Salesman', I would like to read something else. But I agree with you, mono, that nomatter which one wins the poll, it will be a nice read. :nod:

Is it possible to give link to online texts for any of the title included in the poll?

Sub,
Miller wrote his plays after 1945 (First success 'Salesman', I think, was in 1947) so I doubt if you can find them free online copies (copyright issues). However, I am sure most libraries would have copies available.

oh, we're gonna read Arthur Miller? Count me in. My vote is, as always, up for bid since I've never read anything by him.
Scheherazade

I have read most of his books, plays but I haven't read 'The Enemy of the People' so I plan to. Oh and I was VERY upset when I heard that he died, he was a great author.

You can also get text versions of many books, including Star Trek novels!

oh. :( i'd be happy, but
the guy downstairs, who moved to florida in august, collaborated recently on a star trek novel, and i saw the condition of his apartment firsthand this weekend. i think he couldn't have made tons of money writing sci-fi all these decades in the first place, and esp. with having stuff pirated. btw, his name is david sherman, if anyone reading this happens to be a fan of 25th century sci-fi stuff with a military/horror twist. i say buy the book if it's not out of copyright...

I buy most of my 'Trek novels, because reading it online is onething, but owning the real thing is another, do you know if the guy has written anything other than 'Trek, because the name sounds famillier
