I've only read one book in this whole bracketI might hold off on voting for this one. I absolutely loved the miniseries, and I have the screenplay sitting at home, but have yet to read it.
Only the gentle are ever really strong.
when does the poll close? If I start reading tonight, will I make it before it's over? I hate to vote "never read"
Ask not what bears can do for you, but what you can do for bears. (razz)
When one is in agreement with bears one is always correct. (mae)
bears are back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Polls are open for 7 days. Closing time is listed at the very top of the poll itself.
This is the only 0 I’ll give out.
I think I struggled through this once but since it’s literally a screen play rather than a novel, you might as well throw the book away and just watch the mini-series instead.
Hearts are tough, she said, most times hearts don't break, and I'm sure that's right . . . but what about then? What about who we were then? What about hearts in Atlantis?
Another one I've only read once. Middle of the pack King. 3.
I liked it - quite a bit even!

Yes. I used to know that. You won't believe how long I had stared at the poll before posting this question; still can't see anything like closing time anywhere. There must be something about bears and polls.Originally Posted by pablo

weird... I could have sworn I had it somewhere... Looks like will have to vote "never read", after all. Not that it ever advanced anywhere.

Never read.
One of only a couple that I must mark as "never read". Only other ones will be Colorado Kid and Faithful....I think.

I think bears should look again....
"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
will start tonight!!!

For some reason I think the poll closing time only shows up once you've voted. I still see nothing on mine, it's all blank up top. Which is odd since sometimes you'll want to know how long you have till you'll have to vote.

I think it's generally more important to see it before you have voted, not after

Maybe it'll appear if you click to preview the votes?
I tried to read it once, but I had problems getting into it. Not that it was a bad story, but because it was a screenplay. I'll have to try again someday.
It does, but its still very odd that its not there for you to see.

yes! as Heathersaid, it does
Yes. I am trying right now. It's atrocious.

Oh no, really? Is it just cause you don't like reading a screenplay? Or does it differ from the miniseries that much.

I hate reading screenplays. They are not meant to be read. Reading descriptions in a novel is bad enough, but then - sometimes - the author tries to make them interesting, while in a screenplay he doesn't have to.

Yeah, reading a screenplay is completely different than reading a book. I just hate to see this get such low scores, when I think the story itself is good.

Oh the story is good! But reading a screenplay is not fun for me.
A nice story.
All that's left of what we were is what we have become.
bears are struggling through it now. Unfortunately, for them a book is the writing.
