Yep, hidden! Maybe you should stick this one (and unstick the nomination thread) as well, so it doesn't get lost.

For the first time in a while I've had a real problem choosing, as there are so many here I'd like to read, or indeed, re-read.

I read Radioactive Lady after it was nominated in this category a year ago and I'm not interested in a reread; nothing would get me to read Hubbard and I'd rather stick to fiction this time around. But that still leaves seven in contention--shame Tom didn't leave the votes visible! Absent input, I'll stick toy own nomination of The Ginger Man.

There are some good ones. Especially The Invaders Plan, it just oozes satire.

Wait a second, according to the schedule, April is supposed to be visible.

I was about to vote and then I saw this. I think I will hold of until that question is settled. I sure would prefer visible here. There are some great selections, some of which I have already read and some not. Just two of the ten are of absolutely no interest to me.

Well, lol, glad I pointed it out for you guys, but I'd already voted!
This month really runs the gamut from sounding really interesting to...um, really not sounding interesting at all. I voted for The Ginger Man. Never heard of it before but the description sounds great to me. Also very interested in A Confederacy of Dunces, Night Life of the Gods, Princess Bride (love the film!) and Sunshine Sketches of a Little Town. |

I went for Sunshine Sketches, mostly because of availability. OK, no just because of that, but that in combination with it sounding like something I might enjoy. Some of the others... nah, not for me... I might consider reading them if I could borrow them at the library, but I'm not prepared to part with any money for them.
