Not that I object on principle, just that my reading has included too much fantasy lately, and I'm just not interested, even a little.
So, that being said, I'll be voting for The Guns of Navarone, and Vanishing Act. And while I read and enjoyed Navarone when it was first released in the late 50's, and I equally enjoyed the 1961 movie version with Gregory Peck, David Niven and Anthony Quinn, this really isn't my first choice for a re-read.

And in the description for
The Guns of Navarone, it's described as SAVAGE yet you plan on voting for it. That to me is a tad hypocritical.
