I'm not sulking or anything I just have a problem here.
All three books seem to be worthy suggestions, but I take the voting instructions very seriously: voting means I will read the book and do my best to participate. I know that's unlikely with Anna Karenina, as I have already tried to read it and failed.
As for the other two, I've read what I could find on the web, and I just don't know, so I'll buy the selected book if it's one of those, but I'm not voting this time.
P-S: For "Compliment of the day" , "glue" will do...

Ophelia, I think you are the glue of this fiction thread and I for one will "stick" with you.

I am going to make an executive decision here.
The winning book is being switched from Anna Karenina to The Secret Garden.
Reasons why....
1. I am deleting my 2 votes for Anna Karenina as I typically am not very involved in the actual book discussions. While I read most of the books my administrative duties require most of time to be spent doing other chores.
2. I think Giselle is saying she will stick with Ophelia and probably not read Anna Karenina. This means my 2 votes and Giselle's 3 votes are now deleted. It doesn't leave many votes for Anna Karenina.
3. I didn't realize it when I put Anna Karenina on the poll, but this book is just about 1000 pages long composed of 239 chapters. It is far too long for a BookTalk.org discussion. It should never have made a poll.
4. In the suggestion thread 6 people expressed an interest in The Secret Garden. While not all of them voted this is probably more because this is a holiday season and the poll wasn't up for very long.
