    I wont be voting because I will be reading Pickwick Papers regardless of the poll therefore I wouldnt want to unfairly influence the outcome when I possibly wont be participating in the thread.

    Ok, so which one is the "happiest"???? (Yes, I realize that may be a dumb question..) I need something easy, i'm still working on the Brothers Karamozov AND East of Eden AND I just picked up The Great Train Robbery and I'm dying to read that one.

    Out of the three competing books:
    Great Expectations - Has a melancholy ending
    Hard Times - Does that sound happy?

    David copperfield -

    I think David Copperfield is a relatively happy book. I'm being serious.

    It kind of seems that way to me as well, folks. (I've read the first few chapters to demonstrate my active faith to the forces of the universe.) Vote for it!

    If poll is closed, who is winner? It would be the best to read The Great Expectations so we don't have to argue about who's 5 votes are better?
    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.
