2. When making a nomination, please use "add book/author" link to help moderators and others view the book selected.

3. Only seven books, by seven different authors will move forward to each poll. This will be determined by the number of seconds a book receives. The seven books with the most seconds moves to the poll.

4. One nomination and one second per member will be allowed. A nomination can be changed only until it has been seconded. Once seconded, in fairness to the member making the second, the nomination will stand.

5. In the interest of variety, please wait a month to renominate a book that has been in the poll. These are the books from our last poll that did not win:

Animal Farm by George Orwell
Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë
Eugene Onegin by Alexander Pushkin
The House of the Seven Gables by Nathaniel Hawthorne
The Return of the Native by Thomas Hardy
King Lear by William Shakespeare



5a.) A second can be withdrawn and placed on another choice. This change must in some way be noted in a post such as, "I am withdrawing my second for book A and placing it on book B." It will be easier to moderator to track changes.

6.) Only one book per author, In the event of more than one book by the same author is nominated, only the first one to receive a second will be eligible. The nominator of the ruled ineligible book will be able to nominate a replacement or second another already in nomination.

6a.) Same author-multiple categories The same author may be nominated in multiple categories in a single month as long as the nominations are for different books. In the case of identical nominations, precedence will go to the first one to receive a second.

Nominations will remain open until the 14th of the month. Polls will open on the 16th and run until the last day of the month.
