There's always the comfort of the scroll bar.

But you cannot curl up in bed with a computer

Does Candide really only have 7 votes right now?

It has 9 votes.

I think it shows nine but only 8 will be counted.

Often, when I read; I enjoy listening to classical music. One of my favorite pastimes, is to find a composer relative to the author I am reading; or if possible, the actual book. Embracing the list of May authors, I have cross referenced one French composer for the first top two in the lead. In addition, since I have started The Hunchback of Notre-Dame, I will include a composer for Victor Hugo’s time period as well. Please note, I myself have randomly selected these composers/cd’s solely on the basis of the born/death date of the author. I have not listened to these cd’s yet. I have attempted to find a collection of recordings that the composer is most well known for.

Voltaire 1964-1778 Composer Jean Baptiste Lully

Henri Charriere 1906-1973 Composer Olivier Messiaen

Victor Hugo 1802-1885 Composer Paul Dukas
http://www.arkivmusic.com/classical/...lbum_id=128246

I have no preference to the ArkivMusic website, nor affiliation. My local classical radio station frequently refers me to this site for broadcasted recordings. I find this a very good site to locate hard to find classical pieces. I apologize in advance if this post is out of theme, or if anyone is bored by this information. Thank you.

Leonard Bernstein made an Opera on Candide.

Those votes by banned members or members with less than 50 posts will not be counted. So, at the moment Candide has 7 votes.

[papayahed]

So a vote for Papillon or Madame Bovary would force a tie? So who's left to vote??

[Scheherazade]

You asked for a KitKat, Papaya?

I still think the cocktails was a better bribe!

[papayahed]

Oh crap I forgot about the cocktails.

Seriously, I have no preference between Candide and Papillon.

I'm confused. I know it's none of my business, but I thought the poll won't let you vote until you have 50 posts in the first place.

Also, you can get banned from the forum? For doing what?

Flip a coin then! And make sure it lands on Papillon side!

It doesn't but sometimes there are glitches.

Very really, yes, those who do not respect the Forum Rules, can get banned from the Forum, unfortunately.


Going twice...

Leonard Bernstein made an Opera on Candide.

It was funny, but ... I don't know... not my favorite
