Therefore, I've decided not to vote, but I'll try to read the uncensored Dorian Grey or Twelve Chairs if selected.

I'm sixty percent through The Twelve Chairs and it is quite a bit shorter novel than the actual page count would imply. There's a lot of empty space in those pages caused by poor formatting and a considerable amount of dialog such that it seems to me to be the equivalent of about a 400-page book.
