Quote:Poly didn't get back with which ONE she wanted to nominate.
Yes I did. I nominated the Sexual Life of Catherine M. I didn't edit my post, I made a new one once I figured out we could only nominate one book.

Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follet.
If arpi has read it over 10 tems, it has to be good.

Ender's Game looks interesting, but quite a few of the titles do.

So, we've got:
2 - Pillars of Earth
2 - Ender's Game (unless that's a vote by Gonzo?)
1 - Golden Compass
Edit - Alright, Ikea's and Polly's nominations weren't in the official list post before, so you can change your vote if you want to. Just make it VERY clear that you are changing it.
You have until the end of the week. See my post below.

If possible could someone make a complete list of the nominated books?
07-01-2002, 05:27 PM
Ikea, see my post on the previous page. The one with all the underlined links to the amazon.com pages.
Since there have been very few votes cast so far, I've decided to extend voting until the end of this week with the "winner" announced on monday.
NOMINATIONS ARE NOW CLOSED
Cast your vote in BOLD so I can find it easily to count it.

if i may make a suggestion. wouldn't the voting be a lot clearer if you just make a poll thread. it can be just a poll with no replies. so, the discussion can remain in this thread but it will be a hell of a lot easier to figure out what we're reading :crackhead:

I didn't want to do a poll because only people who signed up at the beginning should be voting. Don't want to give anyone any ideas, but bad things could happen with an anonymous poll open for everyone, and not jus the participants, to vote in.

dent i have a question about the books we nominate...my girlfriend really came up with the idea...should we limit it to books we will be able to obtain at the library for those of us funds challenged individuals? or perhaps like $6 paperbacks...rather than the just out hardcover non-fiction $35 book...just wondering for next go round of nominations

Quote:It has been a while since I have read Ender's Game....
though we could get current and read about Ender's Shadow......
Bean is such a cute little dickens.
You really gotta read Ender's Game first to appreciate Ender's Shadow. Though, I think Shadow of the Hedgemon is a better sequel than the ending of the Speaker for the Dead saga.

That's why I have a Library Card. I'd go broke if I bought all the books I read. If this is an issue, we can include it for round two (assuming this works out and people WANT to do a round 2).
