I want to vote!!!
At thunder and tempest, At the world's coldheartedness,
During times of heavy loss And when you're sad
The greatest art on earth Is to seem uncomplicatedly gay.
To get things clear, they have to firstly be very unclear. But if you get them too quickly, you probably got them wrong.

Great Expectations got my vote, simply because I have a copy at home and it's not so thick. Furthermore, I think I once saw a movie (starring Ethan Hawke) that intrigued me and was called Great Expectations and I'd like to compare with the book
On the other hand, I wouldn't mind David Copperfield either, it has interesting opening lines.

Any novel by Dickens other than A Tale Of Two Cities because I have already read it. Though I liked it a lot, but I am not in a mood to re-read anything.
I sang of leaves, of leaves of gold, and leaves of gold there grew.
Still have Oliver Twist waiting to be read (I know, it's a shame...). I read David Copperfield years ago, can't really remember it.
I won't vote, only mayby read with you when it becomes Oliver Twist. I know I won't have that much time in October since I have to finish my MSc.-thesis....
Find my "library" listed on Librarything
I cry over that dog every time I read oliver twist.
Ive already read great expectations and David copperfield is my favourite Dickens to date ( might be becasue there is a reasnable female charcter?) .
Bleak house!!!!!!! I want to read it and the watch the tv series so I can throw things at the creen and go NO! what are you doing youve spoilt the book.
Im saving my votebut at this rate Ill be voting hard times I havent read it an its short

I would vote, and might still yet, but I am not sure if I would be able to participate...two major english and lit papers due in october...but I have always wanted to read Great Expectations.

Of the two I haven't read (Old Curiosity Shop and Little Dorrit) the former is more towards the top of my list, so it gets my vote. All books on that list are excellent and are worth reading/re-reading. I wouldn't mind re-reading David Copperfield, because I read it when I was too young to get much out of it and remember not liking as much as I would if I read it now..... but still, Old Curiosity Shop it is
I wrote a poem on a leaf and it blew away...
Oh, vote for David Copperfield. You were too young to have read it. Plus it will have a chance to win while the other two probably don't.

That is true, but it's too late to recast a vote. However, I do encourage people to vote for David Copperfield if you are not sure what to vote for. Great Expectations is amazing, but I just re-read it recently, so....
