May / France Reading Poll

Good choices! (Ya'll are both old enough right?)

Janine? Scher? Niamh?

You know, I kind of feel bad for The Lover. It's the only books on the whole list that hasn't gotten a single vote.

All this alcohol is so Rabelais-esque!

"Most noble and illustrious drinkers, and you thrice precious pockified
blades (for to you, and none else, do I dedicate my writings)" -Rabelais

I'll drown my sorrow in red wine...

Yay! Candide is in the lead again! :D

I wouldnt mind a Mojito or a WooWoo if you got one! :p

:lol: I nominated it. I haven't seen the movie but the book was excellent. I highly recommend it. I wound up voting for The Red and the Black since I've been meaning to read that for the longest time and thought this would be a good opportunity.

Thanks Janine and Scheherazade. I have been posting sporadically between here and the fantasy forums.. seeing as the fantasy books are my first passion in books. I will take a look around and see if I can build up posts.

I know that the pole closes May 1, so I have some time. I appreciate the warm welcome. Thank you again!

I will go for Rableis or Stendhal; but not yet.

I can testify to that!

Thanks, guys.. I have been taking your advice and I am slowly getting there... My husband is wondering what I am doing... cooking dinner.. then running over to the computer to post a reply. But then, he already knows that I am just not right in the head:lol:

I am getting to meet some really interesting people here. I am glad that people here are so open and friendly. Since I seem "lost" in the way of which way to go for reading material.. I decided for May I would simply start with the winner of the pole, and work my way down the list.

I am lucky enough to live four blocks from my public library... and with the wonderful weather we have been having.. I can just walk down to pick up new books.

Thanks again!
