MobileRead October 2013 *Category* Poll - Page 2

I didn't actually vote for any of the categories that are sharing or almost sharing the lead. Of the leaders, I would probably pick the Patricia Clark. Lots of great stuff in there.

Neither did I

Yes, it's filled with treasures.

Should the Library win, I hope those nominating will remember to indicate +50, +70, etc.

Dazrin · 03-05-2013, 08:40 PM

If it is a tie for Science and Patricia Clarke Memorial Library can we just combine the categories into one? It would be interesting to read a 100 year old science text book to see what we have learned in the last century.

/No, I don't know if there actually are any in the library.

Personally, I think it would be nice to have a Patricia Clark category once a year now that I think about it. It's such a fantastic resource and so much effort has been expended by our members to make it what it is. It seems fitting to honour it at least once a year via the book club.

Anyway - just a thought. If it wins I'd probably nominate something by Peter Watts - like Blindsight. Nice to read something that an author has actually donated to the public domain - and a sci-fi horror will please me immensely.

Or the only Star Trek book that's free and not fan fiction.

That's been on my TBR list for a while, so I would definitely vote for it!

Sounds interesting. I may have a look at that anyway

Absolutely. Over my dead body.

WT Sharpe · 03-06-2013, 11:01 AM

The vote is really close this month. My grandson's pulling for Mythology.

HomeInMyShoes · 03-06-2013, 11:08 AM

I'm pulling for Mythology and Short Stories. At least my category is doing better than Fantasy.

Nyssa · 03-06-2013, 11:43 AM

I am also pulling for Mythology!!

CWatkinsNash · 03-06-2013, 11:53 AM

Of the current leaders, I'm pulling for Science. But, if PCML wins, I'm leaning toward something like Caleb stated - authors who have donated books to the PD.
