I just wanted people to know what sort of book
Ethan Frome really is and that it's not really appropriate for December. I have to say that I love the fourth review quote I pasted. The person who wrote it is oviously quite intelligent and has a very nice way with words.
I, Robot is a much more upbeat book that is just a much better read for the holidays. But it seems it won't win just because it's science fiction. But, at least it's not dreadful.
So on one hand we have science fiction and on the other we have dreadful. We got gypped with
Cloud Atlas as that wasn't science fiction and now we'll get stuck with dreadful. I would like to know who voted for dreadful because last month was supposed to have been science fiction (it was dystopian fiction at best)
I think we could use some Sharpe overrides at times like these.
