    I know there is still time yet, but what will you do if the tie is not broken?

    Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before. ~ Edgar Allan Poe

    I believe I may have broke the tie....I am finding myself in a moral position here in doing so.

    I would like to read On the Road because I own the book, and it was given to me by my dad. The reason I chose it is because the last page, when he recites it makes him cry. And the only reason I can understand this doing so is because he is a product of his time. My dilemna is that I just started reading Gone with the Wind, and I'm now in a position where I broke a tie and feel inclined to put Gone with the Wind down so I can read On the Road.

    Hehehe....hope that was a thoughtful response to breaking a tie! I've missed the book club. Think it's about time I join in again!

    I nominated Naked Lunch back at post 16. Any reason this hasn't appeared in the poll?

    You need to reach 50 posts before you can vote but you will have to be quick! (Most people suggest making up the numbers on the games/chat forums)

    I am sorry; must have overlooked. Would have liked to offer to include it in the next poll but it is on a different genre so don't know how to make it up to you, really.

    Maybe I can vote for your choice of book next time you nominate something?

    Hi guys: I'm new here. I'd like to participate in the book club reading of On The Road. Do you have a set schedule? Or just blog when reading? Is there any closing chat? I saw that the live chat was eliminated awhile back.

    We usually post our comments while reading the book; there is no set schedule.

    The live chat was proving to be hard to arrange due to different time zones so we had to give up on that.
