What we become depends on what we read after all of the professors have finished with us. The greatest university of all is a collection of books. - Thomas Carlyle

It is more fun to talk with someone who doesn't use long, difficult words but rather short, easy words like "What about lunch?" - Pooh's Little Instruction Book

Please note: selection 1 comprises of two books. So, if this selection is chosen the two books listed would have to be read for the discussion meeting.

Voting procedure: You may choose as many selections as you want. You only have to rank your selections in the order of your preference for reading. 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.

Please email me or post here if you have any questions about the voting procedure.

Happy voting!
