Book Poll

[dsneyvoice]

So I have like eleventy billion books I haven't read yet, but I can't decide which one I want to read next. I wish I could speed read or, like, read them all by osmosis or something. I want to read them all at the same time. XD Anyhoodle, since I can't decide - a poll!

It's going to lose the poll, I'm sure, since I doubt many other people have read it, but Bel Canto is seriously one of the most incredible books I have ever read.

[dsneyvoice]

I've been wanting to read it for a while; I heard it's really good!

[betweenthebliss]

the blind assassin by margaret atwood
prodigal summer by barbara kingsolver
on beauty by zadie smith
the lies of locke lamora by scott lynch
catch-22 by joseph heller
the hero and the crown by robin mckinley (aerin's canon!)
how i paid for college by marc acito

....and check my goodreads page for more, i have a bunch of "best of" lists. :"D

[dsneyvoice]

LOL, I've read a grand total of one of those. (Catch-22, which I LOVE) XD

[betweenthebliss]

aaaaagh yes it's the best. :3

okay-- locke lamora you should not start until you're prepared to be in the throes of a book you literally cannot put down. same with how i paid for college, and you shouldn't read that one anywhere you have to be quiet, because it will have you in actual fits of laughter. blind assassin will blow your mind, the hero & the crown you could get through in one afternoon, and the other two are just beautifully crafted and beautifully written books with an abundance of interesting & feisty female characters. XD GO FORTH, READ AND ENJOY. :D

WHAT ANITA SAID. Holy shit woman, read that book if you haven't. XD

[dsneyvoice]

I know, I know, I need to read it, it's just so long!

[melloniel]

LOL, just think if it as it really is: three books. It helps when reading it for the first time if you have them separate, and not in one giant edition.

[dsneyvoice]

LOL, yeah, I have one giant edition. I couldn't pass it up, though, it has art by Alan Lee. XD

[deensey]

I don't have a favourite book of all time, though the Narnia books are up there.

[misspeacock]

Yeeeaahhh, Anita's right. A lot of those books are fantastic and worth reading, but Lord of the Rings is a Cultural Experience. So you should get on that. XD
