Single votes however make it very easy to see how many people are voting.
And we need The Idiot Girl and the Flaming Tantrum of Death to get more votes. That's the one that sounds the most fun to read out of all the choices. |

It was a lot of fun. I think I'm going to pick up another one of her books.

I'm just hoping that the Rocky Mountain book does not win. it seems (IMHO) to be rather dull. And after reading A Passage to India, I'm not looking for any books that are going to be dull.

I just finished it last night, and it isn't dull at all. However, given that I have just read it, I hope the 'Professor and the madman' could get a few more votes. It was on my reading list anyway

I went for the Rocky Mountain book, sounds very interesting (although I could be totally wrong, which I often am).

Is anyone else of the opinion that Fiction can make better fodder for discussion than Nonfiction? Not always though of course, and there are some nice choices there. Technical or reference type books may be a bit of a downer, a book like Origin of Species will go for pages and pages to deliver the conclusion of a species deriving from a common ancestor.
