or vote for a book on the list youd be interested in reading next month. if you already read the book you nominated Im suer you'll have plenty to add to the discussion.
thats a very good questing crash..since this is entirely new to the forum we have to come up with that,we wont have time for another poll..heres what I think we should do in case of a tie..a tie will be broke in alphabetical order...then each month reverse it..in the case of 2 books starting with the same letter it will go to the next letter in the title.
what does people thank about this,any thoughts? like I said I am open to ideas since this is a collaborative club we are tiring to establish
if everyones fine with this idea..it will stand.
Gender: Male Location: Welfare Kingdom of California
If there is a tie we can always flip a quarter j/k.
Okay here is another idea, if there is a tie we could select the winner in a Alphabet way. For example, if the Da Vinci code and the Aenead are tie. Then the Aenead wins since is starts with an A. But since Da Vinci code gets second place then it gets seniority for March book of the month. What do you guys think?
thats kinda what I was meaning SilverFighter..I like that and putting the left over in the next poll.
see we cant take a vote DR cause this is going to close the beginning of feb. and the book should be chosen by that time.
and I am glad you mentioned availability phoe...since we are working the kinks out of our book club I already found that to be a problem with the Iliad.and when a member nominated a book and said it would cost your liver to read...we dont want that..I am going to add that to the closed thread that all nominations should currently be in print and available in paper back.when I went to buy the Iliad,I went to 3 different book stores and they only carried hard back and all were over 30.00! I like to buy books and all but not for that kind of money.
I would go ahead and make the decision but Id really rather it be something we all can agree on...such as a tie breaking rule.
