Please vote for the July book here.
Only 10 options, so some of your nominations didn't get on the poll, sorry. (I give obvious preference to books on this site as that way no one has to go out and buy one or go to the library or whatever).
I voted for "Ali and Nino"
Maybe you'll wish to read it, too after looking through this link.

Ohh...I feel obliged to vote for my nom, but I don't want to be a Nader voter. I also don't want to vote for something if a lot of other people have already read it (thinking "Cuckoo's Nest," "1984"). Feels selfish, but I'm gonna hold off for a couple more days, till I see what direction the results start going in.
If you had to live with this you'd rather lie than fall.
You think I can't fly? Well, you just watch me!

Nah, I couldn't do it.I voted "1984." It just seems appropriate considering how many times a week I am speechless but for, "This is just.....Orwellian." Besides, soilent green *is* people.

1984
1984
I voted for H.G. Wells,dont know why no one else did....
Razor's Edge. Mostly because I'm half way through it now.

Don't part with your illusions. When they are gone you may still exist, but you have ceased to live.

Chalk a vote up for Ken Kesey!
"When unto these sessions of sweet silent thought I summon up a remembrance of things past."
So I guess it is the "Black Tulip"
What's that book about anyways?
Kiwi, that book is available on this sight, and there is a brief synopsis of the story available on there as well.
i assume that since the polls are closed that the Black Tulip is the winner (which makes me happy) but i am still waiting for the official announcement from almighty Admin before i go out and actually buy the book
(grrr....i dont have an official address here yet, so i cant get a library card, and i cant read it online; the chair at my desk right now is brutally uncomfortable).
Then we sat on the edge of the earth, with our feet dangling over the side, and marvelled that we had found each other.
Oh, good point. I will look into reading the synopsis. I am doubting that I am going to be able to find the book at a store around here, though, and I hate reading books online... hmmm...
