Hey there! It's Jen! I'm not much of reviewer, so I'm going to keep this short.
Books I've read so far in 2010, and a one word review:
1. Special Topics In Calamity Physics by Marisha Pessl GREAT!
2. Nanny Returns by Emma McLaughlin & Nicola Kraus Eh...
3. The Greatest Disaster Stories Ever Told Terrifying!
4. The Blind Assassin by Margaret Atwood Strangegood
5. The Believers by Zoe Heller Overworked
6. I Drink for a Reason by David Cross Egotistical
7. Speak Up by Cyndi Maxey Informative
8. The Little Book by Seldon Edwards Betterthanithoughtitmightbebasedonthedescription
9. Forever by Pete Hammil Interesting
10. Man or Mango? A Lament by Lucy Ellmann Quirky
Currently reading: Man out of Time by Michael Hogan
Now, the poll: (which I expect at least ONE person to reply to?)
Last year about this time I dove into Les Miserable - so I'm thinking it's time to hit the classics again. I'm debating between two longish ones, and thought I'd get an opinion, if anyone has read them both.
(side note, anytime i delete anything and then start typing again, it's in BOLD. i'm getting sick of changing it.)
Anyway: Option one is Vanity Fair, and option two is The Count of Monte Cristo. The thing is, I've already read the second one, but really really liked it, so I kind of want to read it again. But, should I try something different? Anyone?
Alright. Happy "spring" (she says as it snows outside for the second straight day in APRIL.)
Ta ta!

I haven't read either one, so I can't fairly answer your poll. I can say, however, that I've been debating about reading Vanity Fair for the last couple of months. I'm just daunted by the length. So, if you read it, I'd love a review!
I'm always up for re-reading a favorite, and as far as VF goes...I'm sure the book is great but I'd rather enjoy the James Purefoy-ness the movie has to offer.
