I voted for Carrie because I have been meaning to read that book for awhile.

I'm voting for Carrie, because everything else up there has too many reviews from people who've wanted to gouge out their own eyeballs...and I've read too much of *that* lately.My 2nd choice was Native Son, but it looks like I'd be alone in that, so no point...
:D
I voted for the Anarchist Cookbook because I own it but I do not suggest voting for this one. All it is, is a manual for doing bad things. This is not a work of fiction or a novel of any sort. It also has a statement on the back that it is illegal to own.It's a waste of money all the information in it can be found on google.
I voted An American Tragedy because it seemed the most interesting. I have already read both Carrie and Native Son. Both wonderful. :)

"I own it..." "It's illegal to own"
"I voted for it" "It's worthless" (paraphrasing)
"I voted for it" "I don't recommend it"
This is great!
I think it's my favorite comment...maybe ever.
Thumbs up! ;-)
I voted for Heart of Darkness because I've tried twice to get all the way through this book but haven't been able to yet. The last time I tried was years ago, though, so maybe now I'll like it as much as I've always wanted to.

Flowers for Algernon is winning by quite a lot and it deserves it: it's a fabulous story, one of my faves. But I've read it (obviously) and I always vote for something I haven't read.
