Oh God is that a boring group. We have to get some fun writers or we will be bored to tears and everyone will lose interest.

Henry Rider Haggard anyone?!
I always thought his books were awesome.
Contrary to my previous statement on not wanting to nominate an author...I think I will nominate!

lodge isnt that talking headshumm no he isnt but I know that name
why do I know that name?!
humm havent heard or atleast registered the other 2 before.
STILL NOT NOMINATING Isabelle allande I quite liked house of spirits even if itwas majourlly wierd and Iwant to read her version of Zorro!
Attwood? A lot of her work is depressing and rampantly feminist I know but I just love the way she uses words and Alias Grace wasnt that bad and Im sure we could find another.
What we need is somthing we can really get our teeth into and argue (nicely of course!) about without having our brains numbed.
In fact Scher if you dont mind when I decide what I want to nominate Ill put it in a post on its wth the titl nomination that way I can think out loud and really think about it before I nominate.

Come on, we need to get some compensation for the victory of the author system.
So: we told you so!
If you believe even a half of this post, you are severely mistaken.
try to read the books that win.

What if we nominated Abdul Alhazred?
We have heard that his writings are very thrilling, although perhaps not very modern.
