haha..."Ivanhoe" had a sudden resurgance of interest. I read that book way back when and loved it. I was sure "Rob Roy" would win, but I have never heard a thing about the novel.

Yes, Nightshade, they were both written by Sir Walter Scott! :lol:...good observation.

I just got done watching the film version of "Ivanhoe" starring Anthony Andrews and Sam Neil, Olivia Hussey. I loved it, of course! Handsome knights, jousting, chivilry, beautiful ladies and two cute leading men, also the appearance of Robin Hood and his merry men to aid the king....miniseries was a little dated, but still a good film and a lot of fun.

Going once...

ahhh...need more votes for Ivanhoe.....there is still time......

come on Rob Roy! I'm content now to read it... or listen to it as an audio seeing as reading is an issue.

Oh man, my library only had Ivanhoe! Can I change my vote? :confused:

unfortunately you vote isnt valid because you have less than 50 posts. (get thee to the games forum! :D )

Yes, Page Turner, as Niamh so wisely advised, "Get thee to the games forum!" :lol:

Comeone just one more vote for Rob Roy!!!!!


:banana:

Knowing 'Rob Roy' was winning, I've started reading. As a 15-year-old I had won 'Old Mortality', published a year before 'Rob Roy', as a school prize but found the writing incomprehensible. Now, decades later, I am wondering whether Sir Walter Scott is more accessible. After half a dozen pages the answer was unquestionably, 'No'.

But soldiering on, readability is improving. So, with 'Julian' lost, I cast my vote.

I am going to sit this one out; maybe when I can catch up on my life I can do something in fall or winter. I simply have never been very good with cyber reading schedules, though this is a frustrating personal hang up.
