I second Captains Courageous and fourth Eline Vere.
It's interesting to see that six out of eight or 3/4 of our nominations so far were written in the last quarter or 1/4 of the century, while the first quarter of the century has no nominations so far, and our earliest nomination is almost at the midway point of the century. While I did nominate one of the two works not from the last quarter of the century, it was still from the latter half of the century, and if I'd nominated another it would've probably been from the very last year of the century (Lord Jim from 1900). Also, I can now again edit fairly easily. The text box problem isn't fixed yet, but I hit upon simply moving all the text to a word processing document to edit and then copy-pasting it back into the edit box each time. |

Fourth Nana
Second Frankenstein A real new experience for any who only know the story from film. And that is that for me I believe. |
