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.

everyone is very welcome to comment on the votes!

bears voted The Bell Jar and The Karamazov Brothers

Breakfast of Champions.

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

Dostoyevsky is just GREAT

yes, he is!

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.

I grew up there. To be precise, in the house where he wrote Бедные люди.

Small world :)

Looks like both I want to advance are winning! Go Brothers and Breakfast

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.

Cant vote, havent read any of these, though I'd hope to get to all of them eventually.

why oh why didn't you read The Bell Jar before??? You would vote for it now, and it would have a chance!..

Sorry Jean, I've actually never even heard of it.

now you have!

indeed:lol1:

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.

since it seems that everyone who was going to vote has already voted, the poll will be closed in 36 hours

the failure of The Bell Jar broke my heart

49 votes, so far and by cursory review that seems to be an average rate. Not too shabby for these forums. Well done, Jean!!!


:clap::clap::clap:

Last chance to vote. The poll closes in four hours.

this poll is closed

Jaws
American Gods
Breakfast of Champions
The Karamazov Brothers

advance to the next round
