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!

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!
But still there are many wonderful Authors in Ireland that hardly get read because of the Yeats and Wilde etc.
