I hate putting down a book as well so I usually give the author the benefit of the doubt and try and force myself to read the first 100 pages. If it still has not grabbed my attention at that point, I am happy to dismiss it.

I would definitely second a vote for Virginia Woolf. November, here we come!

Thank you :)

I still think I should be an editor! :P

Oh there must be a poll option here because I see some polls on this page, lol.

Ah, okay. I post on another message board that has a "create a poll" option just like we have "new thread" options on this board. It's a great way to decide things like this.

I love that Bridge to Terabithiawas banned because it "contains language and subject matter that set bad examples and give students negative views of life." God forbid anyone give a view of real life in a children's book! :whistling:
