Solid pick. Actually quite a relevent non-fiction piece while pandering to the FOFC hornballs at the same time.
Nicely done!

Correct. It starts a resurgence of the series, IMO. The Shadow books are good for a while, just as the original set is. But they start to fall off. It's a bit of a roller coaster of quality.

Kama Sutra - good pick. Although I'm more practicing the Mama Sutra with my wife right now...

I had the Kama Sutra on my list, but crossed it off for some reason.

I'm disturbed that "Kama Sutra" is apparently a book you think will make people want to smack their mothers.

No no no, I've learned that the opening flower position will cause the female to suddenly remember that she must pack the child's lunch for the next day. That is the Mama Sutra. |

Considering he has yet to make a short story pick that is a good question.

Wow, that Kama Sutra pick was absolutely brilliant.
I really like cartman's list so far, with the exception of Atlas Shrugged, which I despise.

dola, Atlas Shrugged, which I hate and "Paul Revere's Ride", because I think there's far too many other better poems out there.

So, that means, my team has girl on girl porn, and cartman's has boy on boy porn. I wonder which will be more popular among the voters.

I considered Rot3K for series, and it would've been great there.
For fiction, it's okay.

Yeah and it's nowhere near smack yo mama in fiction. It's average. It would've been a really nick pick in series, though.

I think multi-volume works are one of those things where you can go either way on. Technically it's one book, but the actual form is multiple books.

w/e - not a surprise...nobody likes the vast majority of my draft anyways, with the exception of the brother's grimm pick.
guess i should have gone with my other thought, although i'm sure that would have been met with deafening silence. doubtful that my history + nonfiction books can pull it out for me anyways, so w/e |
