Well I'm withholding my vote for now to see which way the wind blows. Is that a good reason?

That is a terrible reason. The vote should be for a book you want to read and not because it might be a winner.

I just voted for Sh*t My Dad Says. I hope this time we get a good book to read. But, please vote because you really do want to read what you voted for and not because it's cheap or free or some other asinine reasons like we had with The awful Egg book and 39 Steps.
I love that

I well remember that time a few months ago when I forgot to cast my vote in time, which would have been the decisive vote. I'll be waiting again this month - but I've made a note in my calendar to remind me to be on time

And Jon - I will in any case vote for something that I'm interested in reading - and that might be a good source for discussion (Beppe had a good point there!)

All your reasons are always the best for you, at the moment you conceive them, Kenny. Some times also for me

Thank you Ea, but watch out, the pilot is inadvertently tricky and closes the gates when it suits him. He did it recently. He likes too much those social games.

Which winner would lead us toward the most lively discussion?
I suspect that this month's list has some good chances of lively discussion. I've read "Life of Pi", I'm about 1/3 of the way through "Don't Sleep There Are Snakes", both interesting. The rest are unread by me, but they all look good.

I plan to try to participate in book club more often. Unless it is something that I don't want to read.

I voted for Tipping Point because it seems like something I should read, but would not. All of the books sound good, so I'll be happy with any of them.
