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 ?

Vote for "Where is Joe Merchant?"

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.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

I have no patience so I'm about halfway through To the Lighthouse. I have to agree, it is a very finely written novel. I'm still debating whether or not I want to try one of the other listed books, none of which I'm actually familiar with. 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.MK,
Please feel free to vote for the book you would like to read.
I think you should just vote anyways (as long as it's not to To the lighthouse....)

I didn't vote for it, but it sounds like it might be a refreshing read.

Ugh...To the Lighthouse on the tails of Women in Love.... this is rather penitential....
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.I think you should just vote anyways (as long as it's not to To the lighthouse....
