"Tree of Life" Gustav Klimt

THE SEEKERS

As we consider various choices, we should remember that it is not enough that something is good. Other choices are better, and still others are best. Even though a particular choice is more costly, its far greater value may make it the best choice of all.

Consider how we use our time in the choices we make in viewing television, playing video games, surfing the Internet, or reading books or magazines. Of course it is good to view wholesome entertainment or to obtain interesting information. But not everything of that sort is worth the portion of our life we give to obtain it. Some things are better, and others are best. When the Lord told us to seek learning, He said, 'Seek ye out of the best books words of wisdom' (D&C 88:118).

I've been wanting to read My Antonia for awhile, so that's my vote!

Not a huge fan of Stegner and I didn't love My Antonia...so I would vote for Little Big Man, even though I have no idea what it is!

I vote either My Antonia or Angle of Repose...

I vote for My Antonia. Angle of Repose is my second choice (but it will take me longer to read!)
