Wherein We Elect Our Favourite Novels of 1977

book of common prayer is prob my favorite work of fiction by joan didion even though this will be the second time i've voted for her in these polls

love lispector, have hour of the star in the to-read pile

What I remember ov Scanner v powerful and he's puking up his lifestyle catching up with him, examining entrails/consulting oracles, thee master novelist, level slogger and downhill pilgrim racer---but don't remember enough to feel compelled to vote for it---so once again I'll go for the Butler as part of the Patternmaster whole: chronicle/s of a post->cult, via transmigration of souls, a twisted way of dealing w the Black Diaspora, among other things, also divisions within

I've read exactly zero of these. I guess 1970s is one of my blind spots.

(Good journey into and alongside her work in recent New Yorker)

If write-ins are allowed, I vote for Guido Morselli's "Dissipatio H.G.: The Vanishing", which I believe was originally published in Italian in 1977.

aunt julia and the scriptwriter is probably my favourite vargas llosa so i'll go with that

Between Solomon or The Shining...chose the former.

bridge to terabithia is a devastating children’s book.

probably song of solomon tho

Song of Solomon!

I've read exactly zero of these. I guess 1970s is one of my blind spots.

To be fair this year seems particularly thin on canonic classics.

Our Lady of Darkness is an excellent semi-autobiographical novel of supernatural horror

I think A Scanner Darkly is a masterpiece. I like most Philip K. Dick just fine, but A Scanner Darkly is on my short list of favorite books.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

i've read gateway and a scanner darkly. both great. not voting.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.
