I don't see any reason why not.

No it wouldn't. A hidden vote is so that we won't know the exact totals. No matter what we say in this thread, none of us (except moderators) will know the exact totals until the vote is over.

Agree that there is nothing wrong with discussion. I voted for the one that most interested me that I have not already in the past read.

Hey! No Fair! That's the one I voted for!

sun surfer · 10-21-2011, 01:48 PM

I think there's going to be a landslide for that one!

Exactly! At times campaigns are more fun than the outcome.
Please let's discuss. I have run out of smart one liners now. Not that there were any but I have a reason now

I will say I didn't vote for Ender's Game. I have read it already... so I'd like to read something new to me. So, I voted for:

Been there, read that and it's not bad. Just not the best in the list.

I voted for the same book. Let's hope it wins.

I didn't vote for Ender's game, Brave new world and Dune as I have already read these. Now if I could recollect the formula to calculate the probability of voting for the remaining ones, I will tell you the number.

I think it would be 1 in 7.

There you go. That's the book I voted for.

HomeInMyShoes · 10-21-2011, 03:01 PM

This is like one of those multiple clue games where you should be able to figure out the number of votes each book gets, by putting the clues together.

Your first hint: HomeInMyShoes didn't vote for a book that sun surfer mentioned.

*Resists urge to edit previous post and mention all ten nominees*

HomeInMyShoes · 10-21-2011, 03:10 PM

^With a secret vote, it's possible I haven't voted yet, making the original hint still true.

sun surfer · 10-21-2011, 03:13 PM

True, but it wouldn't leave you many options...
