2ed Round of Voting

Hey guys, so the winner of the last vote is choice #1, my blog, although it was very close between that and the forums. So now its time to vote for the first round of books. This is how it will work, you vote for 2 books this round, and 2 books only. The top 5 book at the end of this round will be the first 5 books that we read. Last vote, it was a bit hard to figure out that some people were voting for cause they put multiple votes, so if you could please put "My votes are for _______ and _______", it would make it so much easier to count the votes. There are a few book that I took out of the list, such as the Bible, The Brothers Karamazov, Harry Potter and I Ching. So here's the list of books....

 

  • After all these Years 
  • Alice's Adventures in Wonderland
  • Are You There, God? It's Me, Margaret
  • Bad Twin
  • A Brief History of Time
  • Carrie
  • Catch-22
  • Dirty Work
  • The Epic of Gilgamesh

So this week wasn't all that great, mostly cause of my computer problems, my exams are coming up in 2 weeks, so I'm studying like crazy. I went to see Pirates last night and I loved it! An amazing movie! I wrote this down realy quick after seeing it, "To laugh so hard that your stomach hurts, to cry so much you think your eyes will swell shut, to be so scared that you just want to cover your face with your hands and hide forever. To feel these three things with in the limits of two and a half hours is an amazing thing, and very few movies ever acheive it. But this one did. It is nothing, and it is everything, but the clasic and ultimate story of good vs evil, man vs fate, and the notion that love concures all." Kind of cheesy eh? Oh well, it's a great movie.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

edit: so its like midnight now, and i'm bored out of my mind, and i want to go to bed, but i can't cause i'm at someones elses house babysitting, and i've still got 2 more hours to go. im so tired that i cant even find it in me to press the shift button to capitalize my letters.... now thats sad. oh, its now been sunday, may 27 2007 for 7 minutes. god, i feel like im gonna fall asleep in my chair right now, and theres no one on msn to talk to... so if theres anyine out there who really has nothing better to do with there time, go ahead and add me cause i really need to talk to someone, its i_have_know_brain@hotmail.com, yes, i know, very strange email, i picked it when i was like 10 and i havn't changed it yet. god, coffee would be so nice right now! im stuck with water and orange juice.... i hate orange juice especially that stuff with the little things at the bottom, i cant remember what there called, i think it starts with a p. oh well. please, if anyone reads this in the next 2 hours, please comment or add, i need something to do so i dont collapse.

p.s. If any of our choices get only one vote, do you think maybe we could vote on a different book that already has votes so it's not completely lost? e.g. I would be equally happy with several books, so say one of my choices was not going to be chosen could I maybe recast that vote for a more optimistic choice at the end of the round?

entity0, LOTF was my GCSE English Lit book - I would never read that book again, ever Reading it 5 times and memorising quotes really gets a little boring

Catch-22 and Bad Twin .

How long is voting going to be open for? I want to make sure I have time to actually get the books. I'll be using the library mostly but they might have to order it in, and that could take a couple of days to a week or two.

TheOCFan- this round of voting will be open for about a week, but there are 2 more rounds after this, it was the only way i could come up with so that the votes would be even.
