Yess. I'm very much hoping to join in on the reading this summer & next month's read, as well as the 4th of July read. Whee! ^_^ I've "found" this forum a few times, but I finally joined in May, and I was unable to participate due to lack of time & AP testing.
*does a dance* for readinggg~
Gawd... Not Woolfie please...
Any way to rig the voting ;) It's not what I consider a summer readQuote:

Looks like I'm not exactly making myself popular :D.Quote:

Scher, I wouldn't be surprised if you like To The Lighthouse. It is not like Orlando, which I hear people didn't like.Quote:

A friend who actually likes Mrs D told me that Lighthouse was even worse... :sick:
Not looking forward to it!
So, I borrowed Lighthouse while I was at the library today, seeing that it was sitting on the shelf *grumble, grumble* Almost all of Woolf's books were sitting on the shelf, unborrowed. Makes you wonder why, does it not? ;)
(Though, I will be glad to return it unread if the poll outcome changes! :D)
Scheherazade
The ever-hopeful-one
On the up side To the Lighthouse is the only one I refuse to read so now I'm free to pick something of my own choosing.:p
Are you putting ideas into me little 'ead?Quote:

I know you were hoping for Robinson Crusoe to win, cuz you wanted to read it. But let me tell you, an honest opinion, IT IS TOO BORING..lol
Too much detailes, and the whole one person talking thing drove me crazy while I was reading it, I even longed for studying Dr. Faustus and Volpone..THIS is how boring it was :lol:
Now...enjoy your read :lol:
This may be true about Robinson Crusoe, but it is one of those books that must be read at some point. :D But I guess not now. :pQuote:

I like Fitzgerald...vote for him!!!
I’ve never read anything by Woolf, but a friend of mine loves her. I’ve been very excited to get started. What is it about Woolf that everyone dislikes so much? I’m still excited, and now a little worried that I may not like her. I hope I’m not disappointed.
Turk, why don't you vote for another book then so we won't have to read Lighthouse? :D
Motherhubbard> I don't like Woolf's style and subject matters. Lighthouse will be my third Woolf book if the BC reads it... Maybe it will be the charm? ;)
Going twice...
i am going to have to read to the lighthouse for school this year so it would be good to read it ahead of time. but then i hate to crush tender is the night since that looks good, i love fitzgerald
Well, you have about 6 hours to make up your mind, Blue! ;)
Gawd, last 3 minutes...
