Seriously, I have no preference between Candide and Papillon.
I'm confused. I know it's none of my business, but I thought the poll won't let you vote until you have 50 posts in the first place.Quote:

Flip a coin then! And make sure it lands on Papillon side! :pQuote:

I was wondering about that. If the book and the opera are one in the same. Thank you for clarifying that.Quote:

thanks.. just jumped over to the Games section like you said.
Thought I could be more picky and choosey about my posts...
But at this point beggars can't be choosers :)
I'll help by asking a pointless question: which book are you going to vote for?Quote:

I am probably going to vote for Papillon since that was my original thought.
I have since picked up Candide, Madame Bovary and currently reading Hunchback of Notre Dame.
I ordered Papillon since Borders didn't have it at the time. I just got the call that my order is in. I think I only have two more posts left :)
WOO HOOO I did it.. I voted... My accomplishment for the week.
Ah.. Thanks guys, for all your help ;)
Thank you all for your votes!
In May we will be reading Papillon.
(Two of the votes cast for Candide have been disregarded).
:lol: My, my. Now if I were cynical. ;)Quote:

Yay!Quote:

I might not be able to participate now that Papillon has won. It's not in any of the local libraries (!) and I can't afford to buy books right now, unfortunately.
Phew! I am counting my blessings that you are not, Virgil! ;)Quote:

book stores in town didn't have it :( i'm going to have to order it I guess.

Same here. Unless I got to the library but that's kinda far...Quote:

Okay- just ignore me :doh: I've found the sticky for May...
I'll hunt it down and read along!
Welcome, Shannon. We really haven't started to discuss Papillon, yet. I, myself, still need to pick up the book from my bookstore. I am hoping to do that tonight.
Thanks for the welcome:wave: --I had posted some last year--but got lost in the crawling baby/ early toddler land of baby#5....and had to choose short, generally uncomplicated books to read.
I'll ask my husband if it's stashed within our towering boxes of books, and if not then I'll either have him grab me a copy from work (he works for BN) or I'll get it from the library.
You are welcome... Congratulations on the baby! I certainly understand time constrictions and distractions leave little time to read. I recently took a hiatus as well, but only because I was lost and didn't know where to go from there.
I ordered mine from a lbs, and got it with in three days... not bad. I am reading the Hunchback of Notre Dame right now.. only 200 pages till I am done... then I will start reading this month's book.
Thanks :) You'd think by this point I'd have it all down --but it gets more complicated because I have to keep up some semblance of homeschooling my olders.Quote:

Ah, well.. I kept to my promise. I picked up Papillon tonight on my way home from work. However, I still have about 200 pgs to go on Hunchback. I probably won't start on it till the weekend.
I'm still waiting for my copy to come in.
