Anne wrote: "Now I'm scared and don't know what I'm supposed to do."I don't have a preference, because I'm reading Dragon Dancers, but in terms of the poll results, and considering the nature of the main read, it wouldn't be wrong if Feist were higher.

*ahem* Khaleesi.:)
I voted Fuzzy Nation. The last thing I need is to start another book series. Otherwise, Magician sounds interesting.
I've read both fuzzy books (they come together on audible). The Scalzi version is light and fun for the most part.
I want Fuzzy Nation...but I think I am going to change on general principle....Magician would be cool...ah, they are all good.I think we should revolt!!!!! ANARCHY!!!
Read whatever you want when you want...
I voted for The Atrocity Archives. Let the Veronica overlord try and smit me. Ah, what's that do? (squish)
I picked Fuzzy Nation because I already read it, and I am planning to read A Dance with Dragons—this way I get to participate in both discussions.
I was torn between Fuzzy Nation and Brave Story, but I couldn't find a Kindle version for Fuzzy Nation (maybe someone can point me to one?), so my vote went to Brave Story. Also, the cover is cute and I need to read more Japanese stuff anyway, I think.

As soon as you see what everybody else has to say about Fuzzy Nation, of course.
I chose The Atrocity Archives but I'm starting to get the feeling I'm going to be reading Fuzzy Nation.
I write in the entire Dark Tower series and every ancillary book and short story that makes a passing mention of it.
Uh oh, the two heads of "VeroniTom, the two-headed book-hoarding winged creature" would like to read different books - that they have already read or are currently reading - this could spell trouble for Sword and Laser fans everywhere.

Sorry, but I'm going to sit this round out. I've (in my Libratine way) selected to read The Pragmatic Programmer: From Journeyman to Master as well as finishing up some audio books from previous series.
Ooh the audio book is narrated by Wil Wheaton who has a chewy reading voice. And I have Audible credits....(Chewy... how can I explain this... when someone talks back into their jaw.. it is one of the aspects of the Californian accent that makes it unique.. don't mind me, I notice way too many things about how people talk. I once guessed that a guy grew up in the northeast but his parents were from Chicago... )
The audio book is half Fuzzy Nation, and half the original book it's based on, Little Fuzzies. Little Fuzzies has some strange differences, like the fuzzies carry around weapons to kill things called 'land prawns'.
