I think we should read "Horseradish: Bitter Truths You Can't Avoid" By Lemony Snicket and "Railsea" by China Mieville

Here is how I think we should do it: we should have all the members put in what book they want, narrow it down to four, then make a poll for it and read the most voted on one. How about each member can put in 2 books for the poll.

The choosing for the top four books will go like this: There will be three polls, two to find the four finalist books, and the last to see which one wins.

The one that wins will be a book that we read for the group.

That's fine. We gave a few months until we pick the winner.

Actually, I think we have enough votes to make a poll. I will make one right now! :)

Harriet (cimabuehw) | 3 comments How about "The The Professor and the Madman: A Tale of Murder, Insanity, and the Making of The Oxford English Dictionary, Most of it takes place in a Victorian mad house. It's non fiction.

Oops....I left off the last quotation mark...should look like this "The The Professor and the Madman: A Tale of Murder, Insanity, and the Making of The Oxford English Dictionary", with the final quotation mark in place.

Oh, sorry, the nominees have already ended, and we have chosen the book to read next. If you would like to pick the book we read after that, go to the bottom of the "Home" page.
