Of those I'd probably go for The Reader. A suitable title for the first book

I'm actually going to get a new card at the library tomorrow

Yeah, Constanine rebuit a ancient greek city called Byzantium and named it Constantinople, his new christian capital that many in rome hated! Years later it became capital of the eastern roman empire (greek orthodox) as rome stayed as the capital of the western empire (latin catholic)

You have to go for the one the majority chooses.

My vote goes to My Booky Wook as I started it awhile ago but kind of forgot about it and want an excuse to finish it.
