    I voted Tale of two cities! I agree with Scheherazade it's one of Dicken's best! I love it...

    Scheherazade, what do we do in the case of a tie?
    Wait, now I see...voting continues for a few more days. Sorry to have bothered you with the question.

    Three people have to leave the tie as it is by voting for the 'Deirdre of the Sorrows'.

    Just a little time left and no hope left for Deirde of the Sorrows. And they say hope is eternal in human's heart...

    Oh well it might be interesting to actually have a discussion on A Tale of Two Cities. *tries to remember the whole plot and everything*

    I think it's safe to say that A Tale of Two Cities will win.
