	Adam voted on the poll: Hey gang, do we need a couple more weeks for this month's books? Although I have finished Neverwhere, I just found a copy of Vurt and between having to move and working, there's now way I can finish it by next week. Ideas? I think just a couple more weeks should suffice, say till the 15th of July.
