Umm, Read them all?

[Jester]

[Taliesin]

When thinking about the Dirichlet' principe, we only need one more person to vote, to have a leading book.

[Jester]

yeah we do need one more person to vote... hmmm who and for what?

[Scheherazade]

How about A Christmas Carol? :D
*offers KitKat* :p

[Stanislaw]

[Scheherazade]

"All is fair in love and war."

And in poll campaigning too! :D

I love A Christmas Carol! And The Crucible and The Telltale Heart. But some of these others sound interesting too. Someone give some information on these books, I've never heard of History of Ibotics or Interpreter of Maladies (and I can't see who's winning until I vote)

[Scheherazade]

(and I can't see who's winning until I vote)

Why don't you vote then? :p

[nome1486]

:p I can't vote until I know enough to make an informed decision!

[Jester]

interpreter of maladies, i beleive is a collection of shortstories from a bangladeshi writer... you'll have to pester kushi about it, shes read it...

[Stanislaw]

The History of I-botics, a concept created by famed scifi author, Isaac Asimov.
The story spans the life of Thre generations, Starting with a secret Nazi project to build a mechanical man. The stroy starts in the 1940's and proceeds well past present day, with a couple of flash backs, and parralel stories. all of the stories are linked together by common characters (usually the Nazi robot, or his famed creator). It is an interesting book, a farely quick read, and for fans of sci fi, historical fiction, or asimov's followers, it is a must...

Maybe I should be in marketing. lol :D

But seriously for something a little different but with alot of bite, vote History of I-botics.

[papayahed]

ok, my vote is for sale to the highest bidder......

[Stanislaw]

Quick vote for the I-botics it is an amazing read!!!

[Scheherazade]

KitKats, Papaya? :p

[papayahed]

I love kitkats. My grandma used to bring them home from bingo for me. 2 of them?

[Scheherazade]

*offers you 4*

:D

[papayahed]

Deal. Who do I vote for?

[nome1486]

Sorry to interrupt your corrupt dealings--Stanislaw, is History of I-botics the name of a book or a series? If it's a book, could it possibly have been re-published under a different name (because I can't find it listed anywhere), and if it's a series, what are the names of the books? It sounds interesting--I think I actually have a book at home, not written by Asimov but "inspired" by him, about a team led by a robot that goes back in time to WWII to do I forget what exactly. I'm not sure whether this is related or not, but I'd like to read this either way.

[Scheherazade]

I wonder if I can find Ibotics in the library...

*edit*

Seems like I cannot :(

That is the one, it is really cool!, so common two days to boost Asimov to the top everyone!!

[Scheherazade]

People know better than listening to a yoda-wanna-be-pirate-who-dresses-up-as-a-Santa, Stan! :D

[papayahed]

I know I nominated one and all and did try to sell my vote, but I don't think I'll have the time to read a another book right now. What about a January book?

[Scheherazade]

Those who have the time can still read I guess :) and as for the January book, would you like to start the nomination thread?

[papayahed]

I was afraid you would say that....

[Scheherazade]

*laughs irl*

Thought you might be expecting that so didn't want to disappoint you really! :D

[Wladyslaw]

Hello;

I voted for the Christmas Carol, I think that would be a good book for this month.

[Hippolyta]

:santasmil hey did you know that Christmas used to be called Christ-Mass?
It's amazing what you can learn by reading.

[Scheherazade]

*rings the bells*

Last 6 hours guys... :D

[Spite]

So, only two people are like me.
Shame, but in a way it's good.
They dont know what to do with one of me.

[Scheherazade]

This is simply a book choice... Not a character analysis...

[Scheherazade]

OK, voting is over... 'A Christmas Carol' it is! :)
