The poll is multiple choice, so the conflicted can vote for both.
![]() I hope this on doesn't come down to me having to decide as they both look good. |

I read The Virginian many years ago, and enjoyed it quite a lot.
But since I have never read Kidnapped, I went for that one. |

I still want an excuse to read a Western, so it's The Virginian for me.

I've read Kidnapped and have not read The Virginian so I went with that.

I've read Kidnapped so I voted for the Virginian. Bummer, looks like Kidnapped will eak out the win. Enjoy it, I do recommend the sequel, which is part of the book linked to in the Memorial Library.

I was really hoping for a western this time. Not really sure I want to read Kidnapped, but we'll see. (Right now I'm in the middle of reading Cranford, since I knew it was not going to win. )

Kidnapped by Robert Louis Stevenson it is. HIMS, your record remains unblemished, but take heart. I hear 333rd time's the charm.

I look forward to hearing what people think. And if anyone spots any remaining typos, I'd be very pleased to hear about them so that I can fix them.

Looking increasingly not safe. This is the second book I've gotten into that vote and there's still a couple of months left. |
