Book II - Voting begins

Here is the list of books for consideration for our next reading. Please email me your preferences by June 06, 2005.
  1. One Hundred Years of Solitude - by Gabriel Garcia Marquez
  2. We Wish to Inform You That Tomorrow We Will be Killed With Our Families: Stories from Rwanda - by Philip Gourevitch
  3. Their Eyes Were Watching God - by Zora Neale Hurston
  4. Frankenstein, Or, the Modern Prometheus - by Mary Shelly
  5. Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed- by Jared Diamond
  6. Confessions of an Economic Hit Man - by John Perkins
  7. The Namesake: A Novel - by Jhumpa Lahiri
  8. Reading Lolita in Tehran: A Memoir in Books - by Azar Nafisi
  9. No Future Without Forgiveness - by Desmond Tutu
This time the voting procedure is slightly different: you don't have to pick just one book. You may choose as many as you want - you only have to rank your selections in the order of your preference.

For example, I may vote for the first, third, fifth, and the ninth books in this order: 5, 9, 1, 3. Or even better, I may vote like this: 8, 5, 3, 4, 9, 1, 3, 2, 6 - to indicate that book 8 is my most favourite and book 6 is my least favourite. Get it?

Please email or post on the blog if you have any questions about the voting procedure.

Please remember that voting closes on June 06, 2005. And email me your votes - please do not post them on the blog. (If you post it on the blog, you will be asked to bring two bags of grapes to the next meeting.)

Oh crap!

The stupid software ate my numbers for the books happily and replaced them with silly flowers.

Well, all of us know how to count and track numbers, don't we? ;-)

Laters.
