I only did classics in the polls since you guys seem to want to rotate between classic and contemporary. If there's anything I missed please let me know and I will add it. There seemed to be a very good response for The Time Traveler's Wife, but I left it off because it's modern, perhaps it would be good for next time?

I think Farenheit 451 would be a good book to discuss and I've never read it, so I'm going with that one.

Have read them all except for Fahrenheit 451 so I voted for that one and there´s so much to discuss about.

I really hated "Breakfast at Tiffany's" the movie. So, I don't think I want to read the book... unless, someone tells me it's way better than the movie.

It is way better than the movie, it has a different ending and it's told from the male character's perspective, who is less of a romantic interest than what the movie makes out. I haven't decided which one to vote for yet... hmmmm.....

Question, maybe someone here knows. On checking the online search tool for my local library there's two books listed for Madame Bovary, one is just called "Madame Bovary" and the other says "Madame Bovary, provincial lives" but on the picture of the cover is just says Madame Bovary. Is this just a different edition of the same book? Funny, the library has 4 copies of it and one of the first, they never have 4 of anything.

Who's the author? Madame Bovary is by Falubert.
My copy just says Madame Bovary

They should be the same then. Maybe check out the writing when you go to the library.
