"He had a word, too. Love, he called it. But I had been used to words for a long time. I knew that that word was like the others: just a shape to fill a lack; that when the right time came, you wouldn't need a word for that any more than for pride or fear."
-As I Lay Dying, William Faulkner
You can now vote for the authors you would like to read in 2013. Since there were not enough nominations, I have included those authods nominated during previous years (only the ones made by the members who are still active today).
The poll will remain open until end of November.
You can vote for more than one author.
