    I vote for HoD. It's time I give Conrad a try.

    The thing is why there werent too many people participating in the book discussions....Look at this month book discussion thread..

    Anyway, I vote Catch 22..I have read it till chapter 12. I really like to vote for your book Stan, but I can't find it anywhere..

    Solaris?

    They are harder to find, but most libraries stock them.

    If anyone is looking for a WWII book, The Hospital of Transfiguration is a good one, Its by Lem, not really a sci fi but one of his erlier books.

    Well, I voted for HOD too- looks like it's now tied with Me Talk Pretty one Day.

    If either those 2 win, I won't participate in March discussion, I can't find those books anywhere around

    You can find Heart of Darkness on this site :-).

    You can also buy books from Amazon, they even send books to Sweden. Good for me.

    Sorry Faye- but i voted for HOD and I'm glad it seems to be moving ahead I think it's a wonderfully constructed book, with deplorable attitudes and assumptions and I Really want to take it on!

    OK, what I'm confused about is that there's 27 votes, but there definately havn't been 27 people involved in the club in the past months. I think it should be more like 15 votes. And even that is liberal. I really hope I actually see 27 people involved, but I'm skeptical.

    Um- I tried counting the people who left messages with their votes, Kikand it's about 13. Ok, other people might have voted without leaving messages, but still----
