Katherines or Alaska?

If you had to pick (both are great books) but if you had to pick a favourite between the two, which would it be?
Mine would def. be Katherines as I find myself relating to it more.
What say you?

Alaska was just more interesting to read, although I must say, kudo's to John for doing all the detail in Katherines when Colin was talking. I mean, doing that whole epic sentance of the 99 didgets of pie when Colin changed 1=A 2=B so he could remember it was just a little insane :P lol.; ▶ Reply to This

But then there's the rest of me, the huge chunk that loves to read for the sheer joy that comes of reading, and that side is saying An Abundance of Katherines. So, I am torn.

Apples and oranges.
No contest because they are very different books.; ▶ Reply to This
