      That you are dedicated.

      Two (well, three) days left to vote!!!!*

      *And you'd better not vote against Moon Mistress 'cause I just bought my copy!

        Surprised Downbelow Station has only received one vote, as it is an excellent sci-fi novel in every regard.

        Of course, I didn't vote for it either, but that's not the point.

            In the case of a tie, do we have to read both?

              I just broke the tie by voting for Moon. If it wins, I'll relate an interesting theory about it which I heard from David Friedman (son of Milton).
              "THE" plus "IRS" makes "THEIRS". Coincidence? I think not.

                  I hate you all.

                  Ender's Game is a well known book, I heard it mentioned many times, and since it got selected to be the next month's book I thought nothing will go wrong if I read it. It's not long. I'll have plenty of time to study, to fill university documents, etc.

                  But noooooo. I had to spend every last second of the last week to read the first book. And the second. And the third. And the fourth. And the fifth. And now the sixth.
                  If i'm not accepted to the University. I'll hold all of you responsible.

                    Who was the scumbag who tied Moon and Redmars?

                            The rule on a run off is that I get to select the winner from among the tied books.

                                Voting ain't over yet.

                                Heh-heh. (Evil thought)

                                Let's see who is more popular: Che or Lonestar. Y'all two can start PM'ing all your friends to vote for your chosen book. Poll ends tomorrow. May the biggest syncopant win.
