You can vote a LOTR, HP, or Narnia book, but only one of them at a time...in fact just sya the entire series if you want.

I argued with myself, and I am going to replace this with The Hunchback of Notre Dome...sorry, but it would be too hard to vote against The Bible so the Bible would look to win...sorry

I desverse that, but I still stand by decision, The Bible would be hard to vote against due to religious reasons.

I have no problem voting against the Bible. As a work o fiction, it's poorly paced, poorly written, and the motives of the main character change from chapter to chapter.
