The Great American Read (part 2)

[stonepicnicking_okapi]

I've kept voting for the Great American Read and have now voted for all the books I liked on the list. In addition to the books in the previous post, I've voted for:

Frankenstein by [Our Lady of Prompt Horror] Mary Shelley
Gilead by Marilynne Robinson
The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald
The Handmaid's Tail by Margaret Atwood [but I'm not certain these days that it qualifies as fiction! It seems too real!]
Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison
*One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez
The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde
Rebecca by Daphne de Maurier
*Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston
*To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee

I will keep voting for the 3 starred works (One Hundred Years of Solitude and Their Eyes Were Watching God are my favourite novels and To Kill a Mockingbird because it would give me hope if it won.) until voting ends on October 18. I will post a third and last comment when the winner is announced on October 23.

Neat! I've just started One Hundred Years of Solitude.

Cool! I hope you enjoy it!

I've read a couple of Marilynne Robinson's books and enjoyed them, but not read 'Gilead'.

I do like 'To Kill a Mockingbird'.

It's been many years since I read Gilead. I think I read the one that comes after it, too. I don't remember much, except that I liked it.

Yes, I hope it wins.
