I'm thinking Beggars.

Fenika · Apr 10, 2009

I have no clue which to vote for. Someone sway me! Or try to

also, poll ends tomorrow around noon EST

Fenika · Apr 11, 2009

Oh, I noticed last night Beggars in Spain is also a short story. Anyone know the similarities/difference between the two?

ELMontague · Apr 11, 2009

The link says 416 pages. Did I misread?

Fenika · Apr 11, 2009

Dang it, I came on here to vote and just missed it.

Beggars started as a short story I assume, and was novel-ized.

Let me break the tie by reading up on those two books...

Fenika · Apr 11, 2009

Alright, let's go with Beggars. It gets my vote, and one of the voters for Snow Queen admitted they won't be participating.

So Beggars wins by two. Get reading :whip:

I ordered the book, expect it on Saturday.

I've long since finished Small Gods, but have yet to comment on it, heh. Beggars will prolly be picked up from the library next week sometime. It's been a little crazy here.
