Oh - I believe I was the one that nominated Hal Spacejock at the time and it was because it was one of the few comedy books I actually had (recently acquired at the time).
I don't really know all the ins and outs of the comedy genre, but this seemed like a funny book and it really did have me tickled when I read it. Sorry if people felt there was a genre clash going on, I wasn't specifically trying to taint comedy with sci-fi.
As for Tender is the Night, I certainly voted for it to satisfy my own agenda. I have my own personal challenges this year and one involves reading something from the romance genre and one involves reading a certain amount of classics. Combined with the zero price of the book, this was a train that it made sense for me to board. Anyway, the other offering doesn't even seem to be available to me as an ebook so there was no chance I would vote for it.
