emelee Posted April 21, 2014 Posted April 21, 2014 It's getting close. And round 3 is bound to be more difficult to vote in than round 2. I hope at least. The winners of round 2 are official. There were no ties. If there is a tie in round 3, you will have to re-vote in a poll. Only 10 authors will move on to round 4. So, the guide on how to vote in this round (same as in round 2) Copy & paste the list. Mark the author in each battle with BOLD text that you want to WIN. Round 3 will stay open until May 4th Charles Dickens –vs-- Neil Gaiman Vladimir Nabokov –vs-- Terry Pratchett George Eliot –vs-- Edgar Allan Poe Paulo Coelho –vs-- JRR Tolkien E M Forster –vs-- Jane Austen Edward Rutherford –vs-- Oscar Wilde Leo Tolstoy –vs-- Gabriel Garcia Márquez Fyodor Dostoyevsky –vs-- Donna Leon Stephen King –vs-- George Orwell Peter F Hamilton –vs-- Franz Kafka Quote

Ben Posted April 21, 2014 Posted April 21, 2014 Goodbye, Rushdie. Found this round much easier (bar a few exceptions), by luck of the draw, but it's clearly only going to get harder!

emelee Posted April 23, 2014 Author Posted April 23, 2014 (edited) Interesting to me to see that Stephen King gets so many votes. IMO, while some of his stories are classic, he's not a superb author. But I dunno. I this round, I found it most difficult to choose between Tolstoy & Marquez. But I am a person who wants to make choices, so I made one. Edited April 23, 2014 by emelee Quote

willoyd Posted May 6, 2014 Posted May 6, 2014 Phew! Missed that with one thing and another, but pretty much every match went the way I would have voted, apart from George Eliot, and my vote wouldn't have made sufficient difference. (Don't like either Nabokov or Pratchett, so no real view there either!). Quote
Ben Posted May 9, 2014 Posted May 9, 2014 Yes, great results. Going to be a great next round... Quote
Chrissy Posted May 9, 2014 Posted May 9, 2014 (edited) I knew there was something that I had meant to do. Darn it! The results are pretty interesting. Edited May 9, 2014 by Chrissy Quote
