BTW: I didn't check copyright or that it was in the MR d/l section on anything. I "assumed" everyone was following the nomination rules. BOb |

BOb, what makes me think you might be wishing you hadn't appointed yourself VP?
Thanks for all your efforts on this. Poll looks good to me. |

Looking at the votes for some of those books, I have a feeling any we don't read this month will crop up again in future months and end up getting read

Wow... the vote is going great. 50 people so far.
However, since CNN is already projecting a win for The Hound of the Baskervilles I have already loaded it on my Kindle (thanks feedbooks and whispernet) and am reading it. It starts out very well indeed. BOb |

Since this is December's book, why not keep the poll open until at least the 29th? That would give the 30th to actually download and install the book and then start reading on the 30th or 1st.
