Ooopps... Having read TITN couple of times already, thought I should vote for something else. I will take part in the discussion though (probably will re-read it too) if it is chosen.Quote:

I knew this would happen ! I'm torn between The Sea and To The Lighthouse and Tender is the Night. Since it's three, I can't flip a coin :(. Anybody help me decide ?

I've never read The Sea so I know nothing about it. Tender Is The Night is an under rated novel, but still it's not the upper eschelon of novels. It's not as good as The Great Gatsby of Fitzgerald novels. To The Lighthouse is in my opinion in the top handful of English novels of the 20th century. It's in the upper eschelon.Quote:

Then again, I wouldn't mind re-reading parts of To the Lighthouse for discussion. What's the deal, aren't summer decisions supposed to be easy?! I feel like I'm back in school, trying to decide where my life will lead. Such tough decisions.
Since it has been quite a while since I've been active in the forum I think I'll sit out on the voting. I will Try to participate in the discussion, though. I'm looking foward to really reading some new things again.
MK,
Please feel free to vote for the book you would like to read. :)
Thanks but I'll just read what everyone else picks this time. I hate to cast a vote when I'm not sure if I'll be participating much or not. It is hard to get the time to read, and was one of my main reasons for being absent for so long. I look foward to coming back, but I'll wait to see if I have a better chance of participating this go around.Quote:

You'll be happy. I did decide to vote and went with Where is Joe Merchant. It sounds like a very entertaining book plus I'm a bit of a parrot head myself. That's what I get for growing up in Cincinnati, Ohio. We have some of the best Buffett concerts there.Quote:
