    So many good choices. It is really difficult to choose one and leave the other. Is "A Whisper in the Dark" by Louisa May Alcott available online?

    The only think I've read by Louisa May Alcott is Little Women, well I did read part of Jo's Boys, or something like that, I can't remember, it's been a long time.

    The Overcoat is one of the classics and a must read for students of the short story.

    I have found two sites which have it online:

    Thanks a lot Dark Muse! You have made my work easier. Now I have to choose any two out of the three stories I've already selected. ... I think The Overcoat is one of them.

    Looks like we'll be reading the Overcoat.... but what if we have a tie? Create a new poll with just those two options?

    When does the voting end?
    I'd rather have questions that I can't answer than answers that I can't question.

    We can read one of the stories during the first half the month and the other during the second.

    I don't know about a tie, perhaps the one that reached the voting number first or a coin toss.

    We are voting for two stories; one to discuss the first half of September and one to discuss the second half.

    If I am mistaken, please correct me someone.

    No you are right LMK... the voting ends at the end of the month, and it looks like there is no longer a tie. So as it stands, Overcoat the first half and Araby the second..... 6 more days....
