While neither is my first choice, if the two books in the lead right now are what we have to select from (Dhalgren v. The Martian), then I'd push for Dhalgren, please. I've read The Martian, and it's certainly a fun read, but really without a whole lot of depth and with rather poor characterization. OTOH, depending on how many haven't voted yet, there's still time for a couple of the other options (though in spite of myself I'm in agreement with Jon on the Clarke book).
