:-O I like that one. I walked out of the movie, but found to book entertaining.
I went with Lair of the White Worm because, for me, even pooly done (by popular measures) horror/sci-fi can be entertaining.
Yeah, I googled the page counts for each and selected the one I was least likely to die of thirst and/or hunger before I could finish.
Mod
:-D I should've guessed you'd use factors such as logic and reason for this challenge. After reading into it, I think I would be forgiving of this author with the age and experience in which he wrote the story... probably better than the fiction I was writing at sixteen.
There are a good amount of underrated books on the poll. Great Expectations is good; people just hate it because they read it for class.
Mod
I was surprised by a number of books people rated as their 'worst', but definitely agree that mandatory school readings certainly doesn't help!
I chose Atlas Shrugged because it would be a reread and as I enjoyed it, it should be a fast read.
I chose Great Expectations over the Da Vinci Code. I've read excerpts from Lair of the White Worm.
Mod
Always a help! Although I hadn't read it, I was surprised to see so many didn't like the book even though it is considered a top classic.
I just read The Da Vinci Code for the first time a few months back and it's really amazing! So I'd get outta that desert easily
Mod
Great Expectations was required reading for me in school, so that would've been a quick read for me, but do enjoy something new whenever possible.
Mod
Awesome! That's always a help when locked into something you like . Although I've liked a lot of books, only a few I can name that I couldn't put down.
