Looking at the numbers, this poll has now had the 2nd largest number of votes (January had 102), and is the closet race (all others being won by at least 4 or 5 votes), in 2011.

I'm already excited to find out what will happen next month! LOL.

I enjoyed "Riders of the purple sage" when I was a teen. I re-read it as an adult and said "you know, I think that's a teen's book". I agree that it might make nice light summer fare though.

I've just realized that I haven't read anything, other than MobileRead posts, in about 2 or 3 days...*sigh*


You'd be surprised.

sunsurfer, I'm not saying that this month's winner would have little support. I'm saying that it did that one time last year, because there was such a close vote among a number of nominations.

Actually, now that the weather is turning nice, I'm skeptical that either 1984 or Anna Karenina will be read by many because they both have the reputation of being on the serious side. That's why I think it wouldn't be a bad thing if Purple Sage were to win.
Well if 1984 wins, I'm tempted to start a separate thread to review Purple Sage, as I don't want to read 1984 yet again .

Defected? No. I NOMINATED it!

BTW, I'm really enjoying it very much, more and more as I read it.

I always thought the term classic meant it was something good. So if you go by that, no Anna is not a classic.

I would like to see Purple Sage at least come in third. I think it's a good alternative to the seriousness of the two in front.
Riders of the Purple Sage is better then the current two in front. So it would be a much better choice then either of those two. One being quite dated and feels old and the other is a large book of dullness.
