Is anyone interested in a book discussion group?

Dear sweet goddess!

I'll give y'all the Jane Chord version of Fury, then:

Professor higher.

I tell ya, it works!!

So - we have 2 for Fury and one and a maybe for Middlesex - Rae - I am unsue whether you are participating or not?

Pueo - has the fact of your bookstore blowing away blown away your chances in this round?

Debacle - could you stop complaining about chad and vote?

Soz - can you decide one way or the other?

Can anyone who has not voted please do so now - here, on this thread, in their next post; Fury or Middlesex.

And as to Middlesex, it's "I next." In between, as the name implies, is all sex.

My vote is:

Fury.

If that sole vote results in a tie, though, I will happily change it to a vote for Middlesex.

Which is to say:

If all votes including mine (for Fury) result in a tie, I will switch, and the decision will be for Middlesex.

If all votes including mine (for Fury) result in a win for Fury, I will not change the vote, and the decision will be for Fury.

If all votes including mine (for Fury) result in a win for Middlesex, there is no need to change my vote, and the decision will be for Middlesex.

Is that clearer?

Well, damnation, I thought I had voted!

OK, so, are you ready? Here we go, the winner is .... <tossing coin ... crap! missed it ... hang on a minute ... alright ... egads, how infuryating!>

'K, put me down for Fury.

Holt on a minute! If sozobe gets to hedge her bet, then I'm adding a codicil. If I can't find that smeggin' book in the library, I'm moving to Middlesex. Understood?

Fury for me, but can ... . Just kidding.

If any other bastid hedges a smegging bet then me ears is gonna spin so fast that I am helicoptering out of here!

Fury and Fury my one and only vote. Can't bear any more twirling ears.

Pi was on the list? Lemme know when it re-appears.











<runs to stay ahead of hopping mad bunny>

Ok, scratch the codicil. I've got the book on hold at the library.

So I'm voting for Rushdie.

That's not a second vote, BTW. Well, it is a second one in the sense my first vote for Middlesex got hauled away in the nicked ballot box, but I'm not trying to vote twice for Fury, is what I meant to say, I think.

I'd go for Pi if they hadn't changed the voting.

Well, bookies - we have a winner!

Fury it is!!!!

So - discussion to begin on the 4th February - USA date? Is that agreeable?

Shall I set up a new thread now - cos folk were wanting to have somewhere to mention things?

Soz - any chance you might be able to be a bit of a discussion starter on this one?

Do we actually have lift-off???!!!

Wow!!!!

It'll be in paperback by the time this vote is done, i think.

We get to vote all over again next time ehBeth - you need only nominate a book!!!

Or start a Pi thread now?

Gracious - Pi has been in paperback for ages here...maybe I can set up a litle paperback export business on the side...

dlowen!!!
What is the time frame??? Do we read and discuss chapters one at a time??? Are their rules of the discussion???? Huh? Huh? Huh?
(I'm late, I'm very late.. for a most important date...)

I was giddy and excited. I morphed into a White Rabbit.
I'm better now.

But, what are the rules?

I have set up the discussion site - with my suggested date for commencement - this can be edited, of course, if there is disagreement:

Lash - I had envisaged the discussion beginning in a month - when we had all read the book - but there is the facility for people to begin discussion before - as long, I think, as they do not say anything which mars another reader's enjoyment- like giving out major plot details.

However, we are making this up as we go along - I am just running with things a bit fiercely now, just so as to get things started. All is up for discussion - though I think we sort of agreed to run with the monthly thing as a pilot for three months.

What was Pi's Jane Chord?
