I haven't read Beloved but the synopsis said it involves ghosts and such?
Anyway, since the voting has already started, we cannot do much about it.
So, go Beloved!!!
:D

Wheather or not it truly is a "horror" story I would look forward to reading Beloved.
Maybe we can have a group reading if it doesn't win the poll, then! :)
That would be cool!
I'm certainly not unhappy to see it here:) I've read it before, and it does involve ghosts. I don't know if I really consider it horror, but I did read it for a Gothic lit class. It is dark in some ways but not in a similar fashion of Lovecraft or even Stephen King. All in all, it is a great book, and if it isn't picked here it is worth starting another little group to read it.Quote:

Beloved, anyone? :D
Hehe yes I agree, I really enjoyed it, but I don't need to read it again, becasue there are too many other things I haven't read yet.
Hello all! I would like to nominate Beloved for Octobers book o the month. Thanks!!
I hope I don't get an eye poked out for voting at the last minute!:eek2:
Just a short comment. I hope the book "The Beloved" is a lot better than the movie. I personally hated the movie, which stars Oprah. I watched it specifically to see the farm where my ex-boyfriend had his Civil War re-enactments. Oddly enough, I didn't recognise anything. Perhaps one scene was an area I did sort of know. I like the movie up to a point; then I began to moan at how ridiculous I thought it all got to be. Like I said, I hope the novel is a lot better and makes more sense. I didn't exactly see it as a ghost story but I guess it is. I saw it more as a drama about a family.
And Jozanny, we would never poke your eye out; honestly. You have enough grief, without having a swollen black eye! :lol: By the way, I heard something negative about your library on the TV the other night. I didn't catch it all but seemed it was to be shut down for a time. Sorry about that.
There is only one way to find out!Quote:

A wheelchair possessed by ghosts maybe?:lol:Quote:

Well, since no one is going to vote for my pick this month, I guess I'll not waste my vote and go with my second choice.
