The Houston Astros cheated Major League Baseball from 2017-18!!!! Is that how we teach our kids to play the game now?????
Not surprised at the results so far, judging with the site we are on in mind.
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).

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

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

ah, the problems of the world in microcosm....
"A real limited edition, far from being an expensive autograph stapled to a novel, is a treasure. And like all treasures do, it transforms the responsible owner into a caretaker, and being a caretaker of something as fragile and easily destroyed as ideas and images is not a bad thing but a good one...and so is the re-evaluation of what books are and what they do that necessarily follows." - Stephen King
Jean, wasn't this how the Russian revolution started? lol

LOTR has my vote, although I liked OLD MAN.

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