it is pretty nutty, the votes keep going back and forth. i've only been a part of two book club reads so far, is this normal to have a tie like this so late?

I'm on page 156 of 5400 in AK, and it is very good. I am liking it more than I expected to. The idea of the audiobook is a good one, because my eye strain is so bad right now.

Siraks, the book club keeps getting better every month, with better book choices and more participants. Have you been following the Hal Spacejock discussion for May?

I want to go ahead and start AK as I am a notoriously slow reader, but I don't want to read it right now if it doesn't win since I'm in the middle of so many other books at the moment. So I guess I'll wait a few more days to see what happens....This vote is a nail-biter!

I know what you mean! I can usually read the average novel in about 3 days, providing I have the time. Unfortunately, I'm swamped until this summer.
There are two days left to vote. I think this is the closest vote, this late in the game, that we've had this year.

We seem to be stuck at 62 votes. Maybe there will be a last-day flurry of tie-breakers.

I would like to see Purple Sage at least come in third. I think it's a good alternative to the seriousness of the two in front.

I'd like to see it win , as I want to read something I haven't already read .
