    I guess I'll go ahead and throw Androids out there again, seeing as it picked up some momentum late in the voting. My nominations are: 1) Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep-Philip K. Dick 2) The Quiet American-Graham Greene 3) A Portrait of the Artist as Young Man-James Joyce 4) The Jungle-Upton Sinclair

    you realize that other members may want to nominate a book and there are only 10 slots on a poll right?

    The Godfather - Mario Puzo

    I nominate "East of Eden", again
    Oh, by Steinbeck

    Right, and I am Canadian, so I also would suggest "The Republic of Nothing" by Lesley Choyce

    I realize there are only 10 spots. Those were just some suggestions. I don't expect all of them to be put on the poll.

    "Oryx and Crake" is the only book I have ever liked by Margaret Atwood, and I don't know why that is.

    "The Brothers Karamazov," Dostoevsky (cause I have a head start and I'm gonna finish it instead of the book club anyway if the two overlap again )
