I'll help by asking a pointless question: which book are you going to vote for?

hehe you are the best..
I am probably going to vote for Papillon since that was my original thought.

I have since picked up Candide, Madame Bovary and currently reading Hunchback of Notre Dame.

I ordered Papillon since Borders didn't have it at the time. I just got the call that my order is in. I think I only have two more posts left :)

WOO HOOO I did it.. I voted... My accomplishment for the week.
Ah.. Thanks guys, for all your help ;)

Thank you all for your votes!

In May we will be reading Papillon.

(Two of the votes cast for Candide have been disregarded).

:lol: My, my. Now if I were cynical. ;)

Why would votes be disregarded? Not that I mind as I read Candide last month anyway.

Yay!
But I'm curious, if two of the votes for Candide don't count, wouldn't that make it a tie? How is a tie decided?

I might not be able to participate now that Papillon has won. It's not in any of the local libraries (!) and I can't afford to buy books right now, unfortunately.

As it has been stated earlier in the thread, one user has been banned and another one has less than 50 votes that is required.

In case of a tie, I usually flip a coin and decide.

Before anyone suggest that I have chosen the book I would like to read, please take the time to check out some of the previous votes that ended in a tie; you will find that I chose a book I had not voted for - on more than one occassion.

book stores in town didn't have it :( i'm going to have to order it I guess.

I hope you didn't think I was accusing you. I was just wondering.
