mraltariel: Shall we listen to 'Galaxy 4' then? It is our right and duty.
altariel: Hmm, we're a bit short of visual material from here on, aren't we? Never mind, they'll invent colour telly soon enough.

Big Read Poll Results

Wow, you really got into my Big Read Poll! Anyone would think you all liked books or something. I read The Color Purple while you were making up your minds, and I thought it was terrific. Thank you everyone who recommended that one. Does the film do the book justice?

I'm surprised nobody wanted to inflict the last six-sevenths of Ulysses on me. I'm fairly sure I'll get round to that in my own time, though, as I like what I've read of Joyce. Well done for not voting for Kerouac!

Currently Catch-22 and Vanity Fair are slogging it out for my hand, nine votes each. Celebrity Death-Match! uitlander struck what I thought was the winning blow for Vanity Fair ("So good not even studying it for A-level could ruin it!"), but then The Last Bassist shamelessly deployed nostalgia in support of Catch-22. What's a girl to do? Perhaps I should just read both.

Special shout-out to gareth_rees for what I thought was a particularly eloquent case for Moby-Dick ("It's all sperm and flensing!"). It does sound the most magnificent head-fuck.

Apparatus: LJ, friends.
Method: Poll.
Results: Undecided.
Conclusion: You all read a lot, and rock.
