Haha I loved the Sword in the Stone cartoon when I was a kid. I use to watch every year this time of year.

Yes. I was really into the Arthurian legends when I was a mere kiddie.
Oh I am still a fanatic about Arthurian legend. As you can tell being that Once and Future King was my nomination *grins*

I'm rooting hard for City and the City, I asked my mum to buy it for me for Chirstmas, haha.
If Kafka wins I'll be ok with that, I've read it recently so I could participate in the discussion.
Oh that's ok Scher. Maybe some other time we can read it.

I read it only 3-4 years ago and I bored to tears. Fantasy is not genre I am particularly keen on anyway but this book really did nothing for me.Originally Posted by Paulclem
I won't mind reading that one either... I think.That'd be great but voting rarely goes the way I wish it to!

The Once and Future King is one of my favorite books, although I haven't reread it in years.

Argh annoying how I can't vote -__-. Wanted to vote for Kafka on the shore xP. Easily one of the greatest novels of the 21st century.

I'm going to order The City and The City from Amazon as I couldn't find it today. I'm looking forward to it.
Greetings All! I am new to the forum and excited about the opportunity to share the experience of discovering books with a community. I'm a big fan of fantasy/science fiction literature and would have to give a big negative to the city and the city. It seemed pretty formulaic and was a weak attempt at a non-futuristic philip dick novel. Just my opinon though.
My vote, if i had one, would go for kafka on the beach, have not had a chance to read that one yet.
Welcome Observatory8
Perhaps you could come in with your observations as we read it through. (No pun intended).
My copy is winging its way here as we...type...
.
I went to a bookstore to get it, they said they had it in stock, but of course they didn't. So, I'm going to get 15% off the book when the book store actually does get a copy.
Excellent.
I tried our Waterstones Bookstore and the two libraries I frequent, but I've ordered it quite cheaply from Amazon. I'm tempted to buy quite a few books at the moment as they are having a sale.
Ya, there are a lot of decent Boxing Day sales around this time.
Cosmicomics arrived last week. I would have voted for it, but I want to finish Winter's Tale which I started reading this summer.
This sentence contradicts itself - no actually it doesn't.
