But what about those of us who are not Americans (and have already read the book)?

What's so bad about On the Road? I've never read it..
I'd love Watchmen or The Glass-Bead Game to make it...
I know there is still time yet, but what will you do if the tie is not broken?
We need a push for Fear and Loathing...
agreed! :DQuote:

I believe I may have broke the tie....I am finding myself in a moral position here in doing so. :D
I would like to read On the Road because I own the book, and it was given to me by my dad. The reason I chose it is because the last page, when he recites it makes him cry. And the only reason I can understand this doing so is because he is a product of his time. :D My dilemna is that I just started reading Gone with the Wind, and I'm now in a position where I broke a tie and feel inclined to put Gone with the Wind down so I can read On the Road.
Hehehe....hope that was a thoughtful response to breaking a tie! I've missed the book club. Think it's about time I join in again!
Yo, how can I vote?
I nominated Naked Lunch back at post 16. Any reason this hasn't appeared in the poll?
You need to reach 50 posts before you can vote but you will have to be quick! (Most people suggest making up the numbers on the games/chat forums) ;)Quote:

Going once...
Hi guys: I'm new here. I'd like to participate in the book club reading of On The Road. Do you have a set schedule? Or just blog when reading? Is there any closing chat? I saw that the live chat was eliminated awhile back.
We usually post our comments while reading the book; there is no set schedule.Quote:

Going twice...
pffwwwww, almost forgot to vote.
a tie right?
Yay does that mean On the Road wins?! I can participate!!
What happens next?
Hi everybody, new here. I´ve been wanting to read On the Road for quite some time.
I´m in.
Well I was hoping the vote would go to 'Fear and Loathing' but rereading some Kerouac wouldn't hurt at all :)
I hope everyone enjoys it, and I am eager to discuss a book that is one of the most influential stories to Americans looking for an answer to their rebellion against capitalism and conformity. Kerouac's got all the beat and unwashed hair you could need :)
