Okay. since I must pick one :( I'll pick The Stranger by Camus, because I know it's amazing.
I'd like to nominate The Man in the Iron Mask by Dumas.
I started this book for a project in AP Eng, and unfortunately I couldn't read all of it as I had to get working on the project, so I just read and then typed the assignment, but I really loved it. Ah, and it'd make Baki's choice a little easier. c[:
In that case, I will nominate The Charterhouse of ParmaQuote:

We can nominate "Stranger" by Camus by ourselves because in the olden days we were quite a poster and thus have more than 50 posts. Plus, we quite liked that work.
So we'll do it.
BTW, we read the first fifty pages of "Red and Black" and hated it.
"Little prince" is also a good choice. We have always wanted to read Exupery's Vol de Nuit (Night Flight). However, we have a feeling that we might even have enough grasp to read Little Prince in French but we are quite certain that we couldn't read Night Flight in French.
But it is still "Stranger"
Could I please nominate "The ice people (La Nuit Des Temps)" by Rene Barjavel. I'd love this to be included in my summer reading, since I've been meaning to read it for a while. Thank you.
Yes, I think you *just* make the cut with that post count! :pQuote:

I can't believe it, but I'm completely torn between three choices. Aiiish.
The Little Prince all the way! I love this book!!!:D
Yes, yes... that's what I voted for. Short... and it sounds really interesting. People make it seem as though the contents are magical. xD;; I'm interested in the whole, "it seems childish" but then it's really, "ooh... something deeper." ^__^
And again, it's the shortest one on the list!! (;
This time the poll is very interesting..i will hold my vote for a while ;)
