I'm soooooo disappointed.....

Look how sad you made my face.

I voted for Call of the Wild by Jack London. The thought of reading Anna Karenina bores me to death. I know that makes me an illiterate heathen, but I'll take a fast paced adventure story any day of the week.

caleb72 · 04-28-2011, 04:37 AM

I'd like to re-read Call of the Wild some day. I remember some scenes having a pretty strong impact on me at the time.

Last day to vote people!!

What? the period of time that involved puffed up shoulder pads and Rick Astley music?

I voted for Anna Karenina, got it, havent read it, wanted to read it.

Already read 1984. Slightly off-topic but I watched the movie just after reading the book. Well worth it, doesn't ruin the book at all (infact it really follows the book, unlike new movies nowdays that are loosely based on a book).

Hey! Whats wrong with Rick Astley !?!

Actually I only know is one hit song - its a fun song to sing. I wonder where he is and what he's doing, and if he knows people still think about him on occasion, even if its in jest.

TIED UP AGAIN!! Vote for ANNA and S&M!

din155 · 04-28-2011, 09:26 AM

I voted for War of the Worlds but it seems a fight between Anna and 1984. I recently read 1984 and Anna Karenina doesn’t appeal to me. Tried to watch the movie war of the worlds but could not bear it till the end. Will try the book this month.

The only good thing about the 80s was the music. So let's not and don't say we did. Anna isn't an alien. So let us ignore her too.

But we have aliens in The War of the Worlds. So let's vote for the aliens. Let's vote for a positive story of hope for all mankind.
