Poll question: Which left overs in my book collection should I read first over Xmas break
I got a load of books that I haven't go around to reading yet in my room and I want to get around to reading some of them. Which should be first?

1. If you read the Book for Mormon

You should pick parts of 2 Nephi. It gets very slow.

The Bhagavad Gita is great.

2. On the Beach.
It has held up quite well, considering how long ago it was written. Just don't be reading it if you're depressed. I once reread it during a down period in my life -- big mistake -- I was ready to commit suicide by the end.

That's one movie that screams to be remade.

4. I agree, On the Beach has held up brilliantly
It an enjoyable read and rarely slackens in intensity.

3. The Metamorphosis is so short.
You should read it first.
