What should I read next?

[inverarity]

At any given time I have several queues of TBR books (don't ask -- it's my own system, mixing formats and where I read and fiction or non-fiction, etc.). But anyway, I have a literal stack of fiction books waiting to be read and I can't decide which one to read next. So I throw it out to my flist: what do you want to see reviewed next? (No, there are no write-in votes, I'm trying to shrink my TBR stack!)



[Poll #1791117]

ETA: &*@$%#! I misspelled "anthology" and you can't edit a poll after it's been posted.

ETA 2: Battle Royale it is! Don't worry, I will get to the others in due time.

I watched Battle Royale the film and really liked it- back when I was 17- and started reading the manga until the prices went too high. I've never read the novel, though, but it'd be fun to see how it compares to the film.

i've never seen the film or the manga but i quite enjoyed the novel...

Well, I recommend the film. It's a little gory for me, but quite bearable. I'm told the difference is in the backstory- the film shows very little of it, and sometimes those flashbacks feel a little forced and unnecessary- but the story holds together even without them. When I watched it, it was in company of classmates, which made it all the more interesting.

I have seen the movie (I even own the DVD). But I've been wanting to read the book and compare it with The Hunger Games.

I recommend the film as well. It's quite entertaining, and not as gory as everyone says (though maybe my standards are just high).

I voted for the book version in the poll, but that's just because I was obligated to as a weeaboo.
