    I've been wanting to participate in the book club but always put it off for some reason or other. But I think I can do it now. I've voted for 'Notes from the Underground' as it has been on my reading list for a long time. All the other nominations were great. Actually I've started reading Kafka's The Trial last month but could not continue. Will go back to it soon.

    I think we read Notes from Underground a while back so will be happy something different this time.

    *hint, hint, wink, wink*

    Fight club - liked the film, and I haven't read any of Chuck's stuff either.

    Even though I really did not like the movie, I am currious about reading the book

    Crap. Ever since my first nomination won, almost a year ago, I've gone 0-2. I think now it seems I might go 0-3.

    All soon to be three losses have lost to Scher.

    Yes. He has a good reputation, but I've never got round to the books yet.

    Don't lose hope! Im working on my post count and I plan on voting for Notes from the Underground as I've read Fight Club before and wasn't that impressed.

    Notes from the Underground has my vote. I hope everyone who saw the movie and still voted for Fight Club liked the movie, because it's pretty much exactly, word-for-word, like the book. I read it after seeing the movie and found it extremely boring.

    I will let the poll run couple of extra days to resolve the tie.
