You should have held nominations open longer.

I nominate Alinestra's Joe, Kim Stanely Robinson's Red Mars, and Ken MacLeod's The Casssini Division.

Sorry about that Che - I wanted 2 weeks for voting and was kinda bored yesterday. This is a new club so I'm trying to work the kinks out of it... let me think...

How about we do this for a monthly schedule:

1st: Start Discussion Thread
5th: Start Nomination Thread for month after next.
15th: Start Voting Thread and Poll, multiple choice (3 choices)
30th-31st: Close Voting Poll, results announced.

So, every month there will be three official Club threads: The Discussion thread which will start on the 1st of each month, the Nomination thread, which will start on the 5th of each month, and the Voting thread, which will start on the 15th of each month. I kind of jumped the gun on the voting thread this month.

One of your nominations will make it on to next months list - which do you prefer?

Btw, I read The Cassini Division. Awesome book, with possibly the first female... doh! Almost gave away the ending. But it truly is a first-rate read - we did it in the K'ville group and got a lively discussion out of it.

The Cassini Division is good.

Keep it up. Good work, JT.

I read the Cassini Division when it first came out........anyone that likes the Banksian Space Opera will like Macleod; I highly recommend anything by him (or indeed Iain M Banks) for discussion, since they are very rich novels.

Out of the list provided the Egan one would be my preference.........I quite like Egan.

Bumping this up for the night shift...

I voted for Foundation. I've read Foundation's Edge and loved it. I've wanted to read the others in the series, but haven't had the time.

Foundation is boring, NOTHING happens in those books.

ACK!

**Eli** · January 25, 2003, 04:13

Ah crap, not Foundation...

**JohnT** · January 25, 2003, 08:16

I think in case of a runoff, the mod gets to flip a coin.
