If you look at the top of the poll, behindblueeyes, it will tell you when the poll closes in your part of the world. (the polls are usually open for a month)
oh sorry.... right it sure does
Man, I cant wait till this poll is closed! I just wanna read something Dostey! :lol: :lol:
I think I vote for The Gambler. I have not read that book before, and I think I would like to read it. :) There is going to be a movie on The Gambler this week on TV, and it'd be nice to watch it and compare it with the book together with everyone.
Hopefully its not a hollywood version of the book, more so a Low budget independant film. Those Hollywood idiots seem to add explosions in key areas where the General Public gets "lost." :rage:Quote:

What do YOU think baz...? You Know we all want to hear what you have to say :thumbs_up
Well, when you're so interested :brow: ...In Demons, Dostoevsky wrote:'' As a true realist, I find truth in front of succes. The problem is that for many of people succes is more important then truth...'' :nod: We're living in dynamic world, so people like dynamic books like Tolkien, King, Brown :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: Who's interested in some crazy Russian...Intellectual disaster...Quote:

Baz, When you look at the world through previous writers, and then compare them with the writers of today, you will have that distaste for the latter. Its just how things are done. You cannot worry about the truth in Browns writing, or the wonders in tolkien's, nor the suspense in Kings. For as long as there are people like your fine self, great Literature will always be read, and while "Intellectual disatster" may continue, remember that there is still the select few who remain untainted by the markets of todays "MASTERS OF WRITING." Remain true to your "crazy Russian" my honoured friend.
cheers
Thank you Asa, that's very nice of you, I am glad that at least someone is aware of that :D
I'm reading the Brothers right now or I would vote for it, lets go with the idiot
thanks Gallantry! good for voting for the idoit! Crush Baz's Brothers! lol. YOU are on my buddy list!
"Thank you Asa, that's very nice of you, I am glad that at least someone is aware of that"
No Problem, buddy, what are friends for eh? if not to complement, then to support!
Idiot is coming really close... :brow: :brow: Hm...
One more for "The Idiot" with whom I'm gonna sleep with, this July! :thumbs_up
As for the length of Karamazov, I don't think it should be that much of an issue, perhaps I just have too much free time and shouldn't address such matters. Perhaps I read too much :). But it is a really good book, should be read with haste.
I voted for Brothers because everyone else did, isn't that the American way?
you can also vote on the Summer Reading Poll if you haven't already and vote for a short one (unlike east of eden) so you'll have time to read both!
I know I voted for it but at the time i didn't realize how long it was
vote Idiot!
Ha,ha! Please do not discuss current politics. :lol:Quote:
