Every vote counts!

All right Wordwrighters, I need help making a very important decsion—what should I read next?

The choices are:

  • Moby-Dick
  • The Early Stories by John Updike
  • A Piece of My Heart by Richard Ford
  • Gallatin Canyon by Thomas McGuane
  • The Importance of Being Earnest and Other Plays by Oscar Wilde

Vote by posting a comment, and write-ins are welcome.

Being that you should be writing a short piece for test pattern pictures, I suggest the Wilde.

Moby Dick.

I'm with PoN-age on this one. Read about whales before they go extinct.

Tim said...

Wait -- you haven't read Earnest yet?

I would read that first. It's short and zippy. Then you can hunt the whale.

No, no. I've totally read Earnest, and while I would almost certainly re-read it (yet again) if I were to dive into the Wilde volume, I would primarily be reading the book for the other plays, which I haven't read or seen.

SOunds to me like Danielle's on to something.....

Oh no, I'm sure I'm much too late, but you should read Moby Dick.

Then re-read Huckleberry Finn.

Then weigh in on one of the most pressing questions of our age: Which is the most significant (American) novel of the 19th century?
