Well, color me surprised. I was away for a while and unable to vote, but my nomination won anyway. I'm pretty spiffed about that.

I decided to read it right after nominating it and have to say that it was an excellent choice, I really enjoyed it and hope that everyone else here will like it too.

No real comments yet, but ... Oh my ...

This is just a great little read. Started this morning and already about 1/4 way through it.

That's when the "official" thread starts. But, you might see some... "love it", "hate it", "reading it", "can't get into it" type comments in this thread through out the month before the 20th hits.

Does anyone envision the old man pretty close to Leonard Nemoy? Everytime I read this, his voice/look comes to mind LOL.

I haven't started reading it yet, so please no more discussion in this thread. Thanks. Now I'll have Nimoy stuck in my head when I might have otherwise.

Maybe this thread should be locked now.

Or maybe you shouldn't read the thread until you've at least read some of it. I'm only 35 pages in, so I haven't really started it either, that was just an up-front observation.

I'm sure you'll have another voice for the character other than Nimoy, so I wouldn't even worry about it.

This thread was going to have NON-SPOILER comments.....that wasn't a spoiler so I don't see why that comment should lock the thread.
