bumpity!

random fact: I once had a 10 year old camper at summer camp whose name was Solaris. I was trying to do paperwork, and I had him hanging out in the room with me because he was being neurotic and keeping the other campers awake. I wasn't really paying attention to him, but he was talking about something science fictiony. So I said, "Say, are you named after the book, Solaris?" and he got totally enraged and shouted "NO! I'M NAMED AFTER THE SUN!" :D

tough... they both sound could. It's interesting to learn of Battle Royale. I've flipped through a fair amount of mangas that must be inspired by that book.

Bump with a note -- both books are in print, though the link for Battle Royale goes to an OOP edition.

Cracked me up. :D


I'm for Battle Royale, as while Solaris sounds interesting, and the themes as listed on the wiki are some of my favorites, Battle Royale seems the most different from what I usually read, which I hop will make it even more interesting.

Ut oh, I just made it tie again.

Which probably just goes back to the original votes. So we need the other two and the odd straggler to break that tie.

How about I pull rank and say even though I voted for Solaris, let's read Battle Royale. Sound good? :)

I bow to your superior authority. I was going to pull rank and say we had to read them both. So, Battle Royale it is.

I could probably read both on the plane ride back... ;)

Battle Royale will be good though.
