Vote for Februarys book.
December 27, 2008 at 3:05 pm
Here is the list of books that have been selected for February.
The poll will be closed at the end of December after which you will have a month (January) to locate the book. At the end of February, or when you have read the book, you can then write a review and/or discuss it.
In the mean time please feel free to make more suggestions for book titles in the suggestions thread. These will then form the next poll for March's book review, and so on..

The problem with voting and then reading the book in the following month is getting hold of the actual book. For this vote I think it will be ok, but perhaps from now on we should vote for a book to read the next month (i.e at the end of December, vote for the book to read for February). That gives us all 1 month to find / borrow / buy the book.
With this poll, I think we should read the 1st place book in January, and the 2nd place book in February. At the end of Jan we can have another vote for March's book.

I wouldn't mind having a month to be able to get a hold of the book we're reading. I've got most of the items up there to vote on, so it shouldn't be an issue this month. But I am trying to be more fiscally responsible so it's nice to have a bit of time to work with to see if I can borrow the book from the library or someone else.
