TBH, I'm not sure about some of the choices... is The New York Trilogy really a thriller? Of course, it's almost a dead cert for the 'Detective Fiction' category whenever that comes up, so either way, it's probably getting read. I'd probably have picked Leviathan if I was going to describe any Auster book as a 'thriller'.
This poll is more heated than the Presidential elections!

I hope Next Episode wins. I only read The New York Trilogy a few months ago =(
The Admin's been to an astrologer and has been informed that the stars are lined up in favour The Day Of The Jackal in January and if it hasn't been chosen, some bad luck might befall the Forum!

Thank you, will order straight away if it wins the poll. Promise. And will try to be good in future.
You can vote for Next Episode, just raise your post count to 50 in some of the games or whatever.

I really don't want to read Day of the Jackal, so I am holding onto my vote. NEither of the books I'd most like to read have any votes--so I'll vote against Day
As soon as I have 50 posts, I'll be voting for Next Epidsode, as I've already read all the other front-runners.
And thanks for the suggestion about the games Etienne!
I have 50+ posts, but I don't seem to be able to vote- can anyone fill me in?

I got a hold of a copy of Next Episode. It is short, but it looks weird. Maybe I should have voted for the Auster.
Argh. These critical life decisions.
