I added Frankenstein and Perdido Street Station to level things out a little.

'Frankenstein' is a classic for a reason and I was blown away the first time I read it. I voted for "The Knife of Never Letting Go," though Perdido Street Station also looks good. To be honest, I might be too busy with NaNo to read either, but I'll make a note to check them out later if that happens.

I've voted for Shards of Honor because it sounds a little like the sort of sci fi I like to write.

I'm still trying to decide. :)

We have until the 18th?

Yep, today is the day. It looks like Frankenstein will be the ticket, but it only leads by one vote.

Five-ish hours to go and it's a contest. Will we be reading Mary Shelley's classic or Patrick Neiss's tale.
