I'm happy to get the ball rolling, so excited about my FIRST voting

And I hereby give 2 votes to The Street of Crocodiles since I wanna have an excuse to finally read something in my native language.

I would also like to graciously give 1 vote to The House of the Spirits since I've already managed to acquire it at my local library.

Three votes for The House of the Spirits.

I have commented on this book and posted Christopher Hitchens introduction to it at http://www.booktalk.org/isabel-allende- ... 11404.html

I will vote 2 votes for The Street of Crocodiles, because it is something I would never read otherwise, and 1 vote for Lost Memory of Skin, which sounds very good and I will likely read anyway.

I will give 3 votes for Cain. Reason being that one of my favorite books of all time is the biblical satire, Lamb, by Christopher Moore, and the description of Cain makes it sound like something similar.

3 votes for Cain!

Does anyone know where to get a free download of The Street of Crocodiles?
