[subterranean]

[subterranean]

Ahh..there it is...

[Scheherazade]

So impatient to vote, Sub? ;)

[subterranean]

Indeed Schery..Indeed....my finger is so itchy and I need to click that vote button

[Stanislaw]

Common all, Vote for Conan the destroyer, it is one of Jordan's better works!!!

[Jay]

This time I've got three words to rant over and over again... they are Jack And Jill ;)

[Stanislaw]

resistance is futile...:D

[Jay]

And will be harshly dealt with :D

[Stanislaw]

Now now, lets leave borg work to the borgs... :D

[subterranean]

For those who care about enlighment...Vote Siddharta or Sophie

[shortysweetp]

now jay are you going to vote? i know who i voted for and its the only vote for it so where is your vote for jack and jill? :)

[Jay]

*always does as she's told* :angel:... AS IF :D, but this once you're going to get away with it, Shorty :goof:

[subterranean]

Hope Hesse's win..:nod:

[Jay]

J&J... J&J... J&J... ;)

[shortysweetp]

i just finished little women and would really like to read more books by Alcott. So i hope Jack and Jill wins.

[papayahed]

I learned my lesson last time, I'm not voting until the end...

[Stanislaw]

Conan guys, whats cooler than that???

[subterranean]

save the best for last they say

[Scheherazade]

Nobody is voting for 'Seize the Day'! What an outrage! :eek2:

[Jay]

Sure is, you ;)

[subterranean]

Schery, can you remove my vote from Sophie's World to Siddharta please???

I'll give you a bag full of candy bars if you do that ;)
Some popsicles available also..:D

[Jay]

Sub, I don't think it's techinicaly possible

[subterranean]

Why not..she's a Mod ..:bawling:

[Scheherazade]

I am sorry Sub but vote changing is not possible technically on the Forum and might cause confusion in future.
Voting is a process we should not temper with :)

[Stanislaw]

Its a sad sad day for the followers of that cimerian bandit, common, vote for Conan before it be too late!

[subterranean]

Stan, we both only speak for our own :nod:...

No one voted for Sophie's World except me

[papayahed]

I haven't voted yet, when's the pole over?

[Jay]

Here for me it says "This poll will close on 03-31-2005 at 10:32 AM", depends on what time zone you're in, I'm +1 sooo... hmmmm, you're somewhere around -6, aren't you? So for you the poll should close on 03-31-2005 at 03:32 AM???

[papayahed]

Great I have a few days... although I'm not sure I want to read either.

[Scheherazade]

Vote for some other book then! Would you be interested in 'Seize the Day'? ;)

[mono]

Yes, papayahed, seize the day by voting for Hesse's Siddartha. :lol:

[Scheherazade]

Hey now! Don't use my promotion for your book promotion! :D

[papayahed]

Truthfully I'm considering throwing my vote to Conan. We haven't read anything like it yet...

[Jay]

*begs* please, not BNW...

[Taliesin]

If you want to vote for fantasy/sci-fi, then why not vote for Hyperion next month? It is IMHO better than Conan.

[papayahed]

*begs* please, not BNW...


That would be the last thing I would ever vote for......right after Orlando. :D

[Jay]

No stoning, I'm still too young to be stoned! Geez, hold your horses :D

[papayahed]

No stoning, I'm still too young to be stoned! Geez, hold your horses :D


Cool your Jets, sister. Nobody said anything about stoning. Now drawing and quartering, that's a different story!!! :nod:

[Jay]

I've just got second thoughts about stoning... can I be stoned instead?

[subterranean]

SECONDED

SCR10


*begs* please, not BNW...

[Jay]

Can't see J&J winning...

GO Siddhartha!

[lhaeber]

I just voted for my choice (and I have changed my mind twice now), yet I haven't even asked if I can join your club...how does one do that? Or am I too late? Is there paperwork?

[Jay]

No paperwork
You can join anytime :)
You don't need to ask to be allowed to join, you just ... join
in March we're still reading Orlando by Virginia Woolf so... grab a copy and start reading ;)

[Stanislaw]

oh well, be lookin like brave new world. But common, if all the forum memebrs who never vote, vote for Conan, we still may win!!! So come on out and vote! :banana:

[Jay]

Not BNW, not BNW... anything BUT BNW...

[subterranean]

Jay, wish we both voted for Siddharta...we should have both voted for it...:mad:

NO BNW..

[Stanislaw]

BNW is not so bad, but Conan is't better

[papayahed]

oh well, be lookin like brave new world. But common, if all the forum memebrs who never vote, vote for Conan, we still may win!!! So come on out and vote! :banana:


I did my part. anything for the borg.

[anuragsingh]

Be brave and vote for Brave New world (4 those who enjoyed 1984)

[Jay]

1984 was ok but what I read from BNW... it wasn't that ... catching.

[Scheherazade]

[Scheherazade]

Haha!
Have you got your copy of the BNW yet, Jay? :Scheherazadish grin:

[papayahed]

Nooooooooooooooo, for the love of all that is good, not Brave New World.

[Scheherazade]

*amongst cries of protest and disapproval announces that the book of the month for April is Brave New World*

Democracy is interesting :D

[Jay]

Seconded, Papaya!

Scher: stop Scheheradishly grinning when you know I'm a bitty behind with readings... I somehow might not be able to get to read BNW... I don't think there's enough KitKats to make me :lol:
Though there is one way to make me... but I'm sooo not telling you, lol.

Papaya: Are you going to read BNW?

[Stanislaw]

hmmm, a democratic election where no one is satisfied...

interpret what ye will of that vague statement. :D

[papayahed]

Seconded, Papaya!
