First of all, my apologies for the lack of updates.
Second, Tolstoy and Stevenson are currently tied, so I'm going to need one more vote for either of their novels before we can proceed.
Thank you.

Anna Karenina

Thank you.
OK, I just looked over the votes again and somehow, I'd missed the fact that the other two novels are tied as well. No matter,  I'll just change my vote.

The Old Man and the Sea: 5 pts
Foundation: 15 pts
Treasure Island: 10 pts
Anna Karenina: 15 pts

Foundation and Anna Karenina move on to the next round.


Round 2, Match 25:

Flashman at the Charge by George MacDonald Fraser



Vs.

The Three Musketeers by Alexandre Dumas




Round 2, Match 26:

Taran Wanderer by Lloyd Alexander



Vs.

Love in the Ruins by Walker Percy



--------

My votes:

Flashman at the Charge (tough decision though, since both books are among the best of their genre)
Taran Wanderer (admittedly by default)
In every age
In every place
The deeds of men
Remain the same.

The Three Muskateers
Taran Wanderer
Life is not about the second chances. It's about a little mouse and his voyage to an exciting new land. That, my friend, is what life is.

Sir, do you have any Warrants?
I got their first CD, but you can't have it, motherfucker!
