Official Poll - 3rd Quarter '05 (Jul/Aug/Sep) Book Selection

[Izdaari]

I'm not enthusiastic about any of the selections. I guess I'll abstain.

[Chris OConnor]

UPDATE: This poll has been reopened!!! Our book polls will remain open for a full two weeks starting with this poll. We changed from reading/discussing one book every month, to one book every two months, and then eventually one book per quarter, but we never increased the duration of the polling period. Doing so might give members more of an opportunity to participate, and participation is exactly what we want.I'll try to get our quarterly polls up during the first week of the final month of each reading period so that they can stay up for the full two weeks AND end with plenty of time before the end of the current reading period. We want everyone to have plenty of time to order a copy of the winning book.I'll now edit our Home page where I had announced the winner and we'll keep this poll open until Sunday, June 26th. Please get involved in this reading and discussion people! Book discussions are what BookTalk is all about. Chris Edited by: Chris OConnor  at: 6/22/05 2:46 pm

No Jeremy...you did not vote. Freethinkers - 15Blink - 15Endless Forms - 3Mr. P. The one thing of which I am positive is that there is much of which to be negative - Mr. P.The pain in hell has two sides. The kind you can touch with your hand; the kind you can feel in your heart...Scorsese's "Mean Streets"I came to kick ass and chew Bubble Gum...and I am all out of Bubble Gum - They Live, Roddy Piper

they are neck and neck: it's going to go down t the wire with Blink on the inside track. But here comes freethinkers on the outside, it looks like it will be a photo finish! mr p. the funny part is i don't drink coffee. I'm just so stressed at work, it seems that way!

I will go with one for each of the three. I am equally divided between Blink and Freethinkers. I want to read both of them. Endless Forms actually sounds really good also, but I can think of a few people I know that need to read it more than myself. Maybe I'll give it to them and borrow it.
