Frodo Lives!!!!

[Stebbins]

Not surprised at the results so far, judging with the site we are on in mind.

[Jean]

site or no site, I voted for LotR even though I am not a fan. The Old Man and the Sea has always seemed to me incredibly boring, and among all Hemingway novels it's my least favorite (I have to confess, I really love only The Sun Also Rises).

[BROWNINGS CHILDE]

God, I hated Sun Also Rises. Talk about boring.

[Jean]

: nods :
yes, that's how it always is with literature. There's no telling who will be bored with what.

[Mattrick]

Sun Also Rises <3 What a wonderful novel. I really liked Old Man and the Sea but it's not Sun Also Rises.

[Jean]

alas, it is only at position 80 on our list...

[Mattrick]

I'd rather it were switch with Old Man and The Sea....perhaps you can....*here's twenty bucks*

[Jean]

sh-sh... while we're at it, I'll move all Dostoyevsky to the top 10...

^^^^^^^^^
ah, the problems of the world in microcosm....

[Mattrick]

Jean, wasn't this how the Russian revolution started? lol

[Patrick]

LOTR has my vote, although I liked OLD MAN.

[Merlin1958]

LOTR has my vote, although I liked OLD MAN.

Of course it is. LOTR is second only to the "Bible" in global sales!!
