    No one is interested in All Quiet On the Western Front? It's really the best of the genre.

    I voted for "The Naked and the Dead" because I have it waiting in the shelf already, and by march I will have finished with my current read, "Against the Day". It doesn't look like as if it will end up on top though ...

    If you were going to vote for For Whom the Bell Tolls I would very eagerly tell you to go to the games section of the forum where you can very easily rack up 50 posts!

    I really hope Catch-22 does not win this poll. It's among my favorite books, but I've read it twice already.

    I love Catch-22 but am rather hopeful that we will read something else.

    Hi there!

    I like to read catch 22 as I never read the original text, but it seems most of you read it more than once

    Only four of us.
    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.
