who's ahead, btw? i'm going to be very nice and not vote (therefore can't find out on my own); i haven't the time to read for fun.
Breakfast's winning *pouts*... you sure you don't wanna vote? For Orlando maybe? :D lol, kidding :)
maybe for mr. bloom. :D :D virginia's o will have to wait for my vote. 'twould be so unfair...:p
Why unfair, she's not winning *pouts* :D
but i don't know that! can't see results till i've voted. what if you get tons of your friends to vote for her and they think it's an lotr remake cuz you say orlando and then she wins and no one reads?
lol, teehee :D :D :D
lol, grrrrr, meanie! And btw, there's a linky, I think it says 'view the results', and NO, Orlando (no, NOT Bloom, lol) is NOT winning, and hey, I don't even know if I'd get to read Breakfast IF ;) it wins, ahem, lol.
.....Kurt Vonnegut.........
Wish to see a liberal American view of reality, want too see truth through eyes lacking capitalist blinders, want to see a warped/fantasy but truthful view of the world.....???
"guide us from above, it just ain't the same, chemical bombs form above, where is the love.....??"
Breakfast is winning...ha.
It can still change *pouts and cheers for Orlando* :D
Yeah you're right.
Well, I hope that Breakfast... wins because I just picked up a copy of it. But only because Atonement wasnt there. :(
Comrad :D breakfast is worth reading, it is pretty awesome.
Comrade, eh?
It is surprising that there are 2 Vonnegut books in the Poll and I hadn't even heard of his name till the nominations. Which is why I like the Book Club;gives us a chance to read the books we wouldn't normally choose ourselves. :nod:
I still don't like Breakfast, hope Orlando wins *keeps pouting and prods people to vote for Orlando*
I didn't expect this poll to be this close!

What will you read in March then if it wins the poll??

this is the first poll i'll be taking part in because i've only just joined and i have to say that though i've heard of Vonnegut i haven't read any of his stuff so i voted for breakfast of champions. 6 for breakfast, 4 for orlando.
GO BREAKFAST!!!!!!!!! :banana:
for all vonnegut fans who can get bbc2, theres an interview with the author on thursday the 10th february at 7pm and then again repeated at 11.20 pm, on "the culture show". :banana:
*glares at mister noel* You think your bananas will win Breakfast a reading? Well, they actually might but braibing the voters is not allowed... officially :D
Welcome :wave:.
For me, Breakfast wouldnt have lasted a months reading, I read it in about 4 days.
That's not the point here :)

I know it's not the point, but some due asked what I'm going to read in March now. Plus, I wasnt reading anything so I decided to get a new book, one that is highly regarded here.
Just checked the local library's website;they have the leading book! YAY! :D They even have a video! Which I will watch after reading it, hopefully. Anyone knew about the movie? http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120618/
Just one vote between the two leading books;we will have a tie this month, me thinks!
It is possible!, what would happen then???
Then, we will flip a coin! :D
A coin, now isn't that a little old school???
Anyways, I can only hope that the best man, er.. book win!! :D
I thought teh pirate cap'n would like the coin idea, should have said Scher'd be flipping a doubloon, arrr.
Hey, go Orlando :D:D:D, yey :p
Seems like Jay's cheering is working! :D
