April '10 Reading Poll

[applepie]

Oh such difficuult choices ( Ive actually started reading steppenwolf yay me and my return to the book club!) i already have a copy of 3 of them and Goethe is in the public domain isnt it? so I would also be able to access that oh dear I think I will have to go for the book have but havent read, though we have done it once before I think.

Glad to see someone else vote for my pick We did do this one, years and years ago. I'm thinking it's been 3 or 4 years at least, but then I had a DeLint book out and this one came to mind. Afterall, Someplace to be Flying is the one that introduced me to him in the first place.

Edited to add :

Holy crap I'm old around here. December of 2005 is when we read this.

I've read some of his other stories, but this is still my favorite. If you can get a copy, I just read The Mystery of Grace, and that was very good as well.

Disappointing that not many want to read a mostly neglected and forgotten classic.

[Maryd.]

I'm with Neil on this one, I go - The Spire.

Neglected and forgotten for a reason?
Just kidding

Thanx Mary, I love that book.

[Scheherazade]

A tie and so many other books in second place...

We need more votes!

[Michael T]

I'm keeping mine to the very last second as an anything but 'Birdsong' vote ...sorry!

Make it 'And then there were none' then.

[LitNetIsGreat]

I’ll gone for the Agatha Christie which is always good for a bit of fun. I think Birdsong is overrated too.

[Scheherazade]

All we need is three more votes for Olive.

Let's try something new for a change... Let's pick a book that hasn't been a dust generator for years... and years.

I'll offer the same argument, but I really hope you sway more towards Someplace to be Flying. I promise it is well worth the read, and it certainly isn't stodgy and likely to become a dust collector

[Nikhar]

Go...Agatha Christie...go!

[laidbackperson]

I think it is really a good read. It is one of the early Agatha Christie novel I read and was just thrilled by the mystery. After reading her 10 something novels, I can now make a fairly good guess, who the culprit is going to be.
