Also a vote against Gould's Book of Fish because it seems to be out of print in the U.S. so getting a copy is going to be more difficult than with the other books.



Looks like it's going to be between Street of Crocodiles and To Each His Own.
At 11:37 EST Sunday night, here is how the votes stand (corrected, sorry about that Brandon):
Gould's Book of Fish (6): chase, Jon, Ben, Brandon, J, JD
Street of Crocodiles (5): janey, rob, toph, jacob, John
To Each His Own (3): EZ, chuck, Geoff*
Diary of a Country Priest (1): Billy
Futility (0)
* by virtue of TEHO being cheapest on amazon.com

and i'm sure it will not such so i'm just going to order it, so i'm sure a few of us won't get it for a few days....
surely we should impose some kind of deadline so that we can discuss.

oh and discussion on hipinion or here?


Anyway, 2 weeks might be pushing it for me to read 400 pages, but I'll give it a shot. If nothing else, this will get me to eventually read a book that I may never have picked up. It does look pretty great.
2. Richard Flanagan: Gould's Book of Fish
3. Bruno Schulz: The Street of Crocodiles
4. Georges Bernanos: The Diary of a Country Priest: A Novel
5. Leonardo Sciascia: To Each His Own
I replaced the really hard to find one, the really long one and the really non-fiction one.
Post here in this thread to vote. Voting will be open until Sunday night at midnight.
