Now I know, and now I know about the Slaves! Having posted a comment, am I now a slave? Or is there some trial or initiation I need to undertake?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08192475786767335073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30395167.post-26467286561524610452012-11-28T20:45:08.322-06:002012-11-28T20:45:08.322-06:00What an interesting set of books to choose from--I...What an interesting set of books to choose from--I'm completely unfamiliar with all but the Macaulay, which I would love to read, but as everyone sounds so excited about Doctor Glas, let me cast my vote for it as well!Daniellehttp://www.danitorres.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30395167.post-76737097042931420082012-11-27T18:52:41.822-06:002012-11-27T18:52:41.822-06:00I want to read Doctor Glas!

I've already read Towers of Trebizond, which was wonderful and I'd be willing to read it again, but I'm so excited about Doctor Glas that I've already ordered a copy.SFPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17439972994357205049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30395167.post-86830857930515059522012-11-25T21:14:29.714-06:002012-11-25T21:14:29.714-06:00Yes, a very hard choice, but in the end my vote is...Yes, a very hard choice, but in the end my vote is the same as litlove's: Dr Glas looks remarkable, and it's completely new to me, so it gets my vote, with Towers of Trebizond my second choice in case we come down to a tie-breaker of some kind.Rohan Maitzenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12111722115617352412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30395167.post-69884959414069320572012-11-25T15:40:47.240-06:002012-11-25T15:40:47.240-06:00What a tricky choice - such exotic books, Stefanie...What a tricky choice - such exotic books, Stefanie! Love that!<br /><br />I think I would go for Doctor Glas, although it's hard to get in the UK and I'd have to order it from the USA (not a problem, just need to factor that into the reading time - end Jan should be fine). Second choice probably Towers of Trebizon.litlovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10952927245186474480noreply@blogger.com
