Megalist for BotM Poll for August 2010

[Richard]

The poll for the month is up for the HardSF BotM at Yahoo groups.

It's a doosie this time, with nineteen to choose from. That includes four each by the recently deceased James P. Hogan (July 12, 2010) and the relatively recently deceased Arthur C. Clarke (March 18, 2008). Remember, you can vote for any number — so, for example, if there are only two that you wouldn't want to read, you could select all seventeen of the others. Reverse voting, courtesy of Yahoo.

For your research, the books are:
① Flood by Stephen Baxter
❷ Weapons of Choice, by John Birmingham
③ The Crucible of Time by John Brunner
❹ Childhood's End , by Arthur C. Clarke
⑤ Prelude to Space , by Arthur C. Clarke
❻ The Sands of Mars by Arthur C. Clarke
⑦ The Songs of Distant Earth , by Arthur C. Clarke
❽ For the Win by Cory Doctorow
⑨ Forever Free by Joe Haldeman
❿ The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress by Robert A. Heinlein
⑪ Code of the Lifemaker , by James P. Hogan
⓬ Inherit the Stars , by James P. Hogan
⑬ The Proteus Operation , by James P. Hogan
⓮ Thrice Upon A Time , by James P. Hogan
⑮ When Harlie Was One , by David Gerrold
⓰ Cosmonaut Keep by Ken MacLeod
⑰ Galatea 2.2 , by Richard Powers
⓲ Forty Signs of Rain by Kim Stanley Robinson
⑲ WWW:Wake , by Robert J. Sawyer

Take your time. We know it's a big decision.

Can't navigate through Yahoo's silly sign-in routines. Although I already have a Yahoo account, the nitwit thing wants me to reset my password and jump through a bunch of other hoops. It's just not worth the effort.

Hmmm I only have 2 books on that list,both Clarke and one of them,Songs of Distant Earth I'm not sure I'd class as Hard SF. The other Clarke I have, Sands of Mars, I read recently. And I too have trouble with Yahoo- used to post messages to the ACC(larke) list but not anymore.
