Christina Wow! Four way tie! Let's read them all! :)


message 2: by Gertie (new)

Gertie Haha! Well this is interesting. We will probably have to do a runoff poll at the end to redistribute the votes (hopefully by then we will only have two or three tied!)


message 3: by Christina (new)

Christina Holy smokes. That's an interesting turn of events. I love watching these polls.


message 4: by Jennifer (new)

Jennifer A run off? sigh. I needed a push to read High-Rise. :)


message 5: by S. K. (new)

S. K. Pentecost I thought briefly about voting for High Rise just to make it a 5 way runoff, but then I voted my conscience when I realized to list myself as a sci-fi fan without any Phillip K. Dick under my belt yet, comes off as a little disingenuous.


message 6: by Christina (new)

Christina Yeah, I'm a big Phillip K. Dick fan.


message 7: by Jennifer (new)

Jennifer I have already read it. :( The Man in the High Castle. It's an excellent choice.


message 8: by Gertie (new)

Gertie Welp, I did it. We are starting over with a runoff poll. We have only 3 selections now - if we have a tie again I will just go with the highest rated one.


message 9: by Gertie (new)

Gertie Hey all - since we have a tie again, I think (rather than my original plan to choose the one) we can just use the top two for our next two months, yeah? I'll go set up the threads.


message 10: by Gertie (new)

Gertie That's weird, the poll was supposed to end at midnight, I wonder if GR changed their settings so the 13th means through the 13th.


message 11: by Christina (new)

Christina Oh well. Are we still reading both? I'm up for that!


message 12: by Gertie (new)

Gertie Yeah we will still read both, may as well!


message 13: by Jennifer (new)

Jennifer Where are the threads?/ Have to go look!
