2008 Country Poll

Ah yes but india and Ireland are catching up!:p

Oh dear I can't believe I forgot to vote until now! I've passed the thread up several days in a row planning on getting back to it....glad I noticed it tonight, because when the week comes I would completely forget to vote. So I am going to do that now. Looks like we have some interesting countries coming up.

Hehehe I felt convicted Scher when you said not everyone participates...guess it doesn't help much that I am optimistic!! ;) But hopefully if classes aren't too demanding you will see more of me!

Going once...

Results so far:

Russia 19

India 17

Germany 16

Greece 16

Ireland 16

France 14

Italy 14

Japan 14

China 12

South Africa 12

USA 12

Egypt 11

UK 11

Either UK or Egypt will go through as they share the last spot.

We need some more votes for China!

Going twice...

Since still there is a tie, we will keep the poll open for another day. Please cast your vote!

Come people vote for UK :D

I'd say: Vote for Egypt! :) It could be interesting.

Egypt would be a really good choice - how often do we read Egyptian writers compared to UK writers?

Couldnt turn my back on such wonderful Authors!:p
But still there are many wonderful Authors in Ireland that hardly get read because of the Yeats and Wilde etc.
