This is the only one I didn't vote in...I've never heard of any of these books.

My friend's reading A Brief History of Time.

He says it's really sweet.

I only read Hawking's book, so abstain here as well. It's funny how there are two matches in which I haven't read any of the books, and in all the rest I read either 4 or all of them. I mean, what are the odds? hmm, mith?

Eliot's is a collection of short poems. If you've ever seen CATS, many of the lyrics were taken directly from these poems. I've read them online, before. If anyone's interested, I'll try to post the link.

Same as Antrax, here. And even ABHoT I read before I was particularly interested in the subject, I would probably appreciate it more now.

I did not vote. A Brief History of Time has an uncomfortable style to read, Candide was amusing, but far from great, and Mossflower was fun and only fun. I have not read Icarus Hunt or Old Possum's...
