    RULES:


    :: :
    To register your vote you must post

    EdIT: PLEASE STATE THE BOOK YOU VOTED FOR IN YOUR POST

    This is to keep large numbers of people who have absolutely NO interest nor desire to participate from skewing the results.

    If you have the intention to read the book you voted for you may vote. This, obviously does not commit you to participating for the month, but please try.


    I initially plan to keep the voting open for a week; but maybe we'll do 2 weeks, depending on the turnout.

    We will discuss the winner starting November 15th, 2004

    Don't forget I, Claudius discussion begins October 15th

    The Iliad. It&#39;s a old classic, and I like old things( exept old cheese or chicks :smile ).

    The superior man, when resting in safety, does not forget that danger may come. When in a state of security he does not forget the possibility of ruin. When all is orderly, he does not forget that disorder may come. Thus his person is not endangered, and his States and all their clans are preserved.

    old chicks, well, that depends on a number of factors...


    anyway, I am voting for Gates of Fire.
