maybe you should make a new poll with the three (near) tied books only, the way they have a second vote in an election.

Not a bad idea. We should see how this ends though. Potentially a whole bunch of people might come in and vote for one of the books (I doubt it, but you never know).

I was thinking the same thing. A three way run off vote open for maybe 2 days. Well see where we are when this poll closes.

Well... the poll has closed... and we do NOT have a tie. Time Traders by Andre Norton has won.

If you click on one of the "count" number above in the poll... it will show you all the votes... since I make them public to keep everyone honest and only voting for no more than two.

I didn't think you did. I was just saying, you can list who voted for what. Alas, it doesn't tell you when they voted. No... I can see that there is any rythm or reason to the way they are listed.

They're listed alphabetically by username

Please don't let Time Traders win. It's not really a good choice for the book club. I have read it.

HarryT · 12-28-2008, 06:08 AM

It has won!

ShortNCuddlyAm · 12-28-2008, 09:02 AM

Well, I've downloaded it and I'm prepared to give it a go.
