Our top 12 is not changing much anymore, it seems like.
Thank heavens and let's keep it that way. :DQuote:

I think that this is a sufficient proof that there is no God,or, at least, no benevolent God.
I agree! At least one of the crime genres should be replaced by a fantasy genre! :pQuote:

Sure we could get a few fantasy into war novels. :p heck! most of them are packed with bloody wars!
Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy could fall under comic. :p (thats still up there right?)
And there are tons of fantasy in young adult. :D
There has been more votes but the top 12 hasn't changed so comic is still in the cut. I imagine there can't be many more people left to vote so this is probably pretty much how it's going to end up.

Going once...
Just a couple more votes for fantasy needed!!!!!
Going twice...
I managed to not vote for the genre I nominated, because I was too quick to tab despite the "you may vote for more than one" option; just as well, perhaps, because I am not sure how many selections I can commit to.
And I don't really like the top picks. Where are the elitists in these 53k? :)
Can you name one Novel of Manners, please?
anything by Austen i think....Quote:
