Top 100 Round 1-1, Group H
In this round, consisting of two sub-rounds, we determine which of the 41 novels with 2 secondings will occupy the 11 slots left in the 100 list.
You can vote for as many as you like. Due to the unconvenient number of participants (41), this group is a lucky one: top 4 will advance to the next sub-round.

I had to vote for The Karamazov Brothers, by Fyodor Dostoyevsky...

Agreed about Dostoyevsky.
As a side note, I live very close to the place where he lived, and walking along those streets this time of the year (dark, rainy, gloomy weather) I can totally relate to some of the feelings/mood in Crime and Punishment.
If you are going through hell - keep going
I grew up there. To be precise, in the house where he wrote Бедные люди.

Right now I am glad four of these proceed. If American Gods doesn't make it, I am no longer friends with any of you.
There's one hole in every revolution, large or small. And it's one word long.. people. No matter how big the idea they all stand under, people are small and weak and cheap and frightened. It's people that kill every revolution.
Cant vote, havent read any of these, though I'd hope to get to all of them eventually.

I hate this mix. There are too many good books on it. Ok, my vote goes to:
JAWS
AMERICAN GODS
LONESOME DOVE
BREAKFAST OF CHAMPIONS
Having reviewed and voted the other groupings, these last three especially need to advance.
