Wow this is close. Whichever loses, I think it will certainly be a strong candidate for the second-chance month!

OK, who screwed up my vote? My vote was meant to make the poll end in a tie.

![]() And no, I wasn't the one. Very interesting runoff vote here. I hope this bodes well for discussion. This was the book I had originally voted for, but am having a hard time getting (without purchasing it). I might have to see if it is available in paper form from my library, something I haven't done in over 4 years. |

West with the Night by Beryl Markham is our winner
And I am spared the unhappy task of making enemies of half of you. West with the Night by Beryl Markham is our winner. I've already started reading the other one (Lost Horizon by James Hilton), as I had already pretty much decided to read both selections this month.

![]() I will probably try to read both as well since they were both interesting to me. Actually all three of the first nominations were interesting and I only didn't second Visit Sunny Chernobyl because of availability. I wish it was more available since it sounds good. |

March 2015 Special Run-Off Vote

I find autocorrect never fails to change "to" to "too" except for those times when it would be grammatically correct. ![]() The good news is that my PC has been repaired and is on its way back to the store where I bought it. I may have it back as soon as tomorrow night. |
