Due to your pessimism, no doubt

I think your optimism is clouding your judgement

Everybody, what is your favorite Neil Gaiman work?

I vote for Sandman, and then American Gods, and then Neverwhere, although I'm not finished with it yet.

My fav Gaiman works are Sandman, Coraline and Marvel 1602

Bruce I think there is a strong feeling of support for postponing this stuff. Maybe we can use this as a discussion of stuff we have recently read in general till we get the club started

I concede. I think we will have more discussion then anyways. So what, postpone for... a month? Should we just drop American Gods and this poll and start fresh in a month? Asking everyone. And Dave, I'm on the second chapter. Was planning not to read ahead. Maybe you me and Rocinante can just do AG here on our own.

American Gods is a good choice for the club. Would hate to lose it. I vote to have that be the book we discuss when we get the main thing going next month.

 I agree.

How about, to please Lai, we read Of Mice and Men in the meantime?  It's only 100 pages.  Something short so that we can have something to discuss and this doesn't disappear.  We could do a graphic novel right now as well.

Dave, I am naming you vice president.  As vice president, it is your duty to keep this thread active if I am absent, and to keep me in check.  Do not allow me to go power happy, like some think Lai has.  Finally, you must be an active discusser.

Kong, I name you Chairman.  It is your duty to recruit new people and recommend books for future polls.  Also, if Dave and myself are absent for a period of time, you shall become acting president of the club.

That is, if you guys would lke the responsiblity.

Thinking of starting American Gods on May 15. Until then, perhaps we can read short books.

A good day for supporters of Of Mice and Men. I said it then that we did not have time to read a 600+ page book at this time of year. After two hard defeats, things are finally as they should be.

Reading Of Mice and Men, if you want, now, and starting AG in a month. Damn college students making us wait But I would recommend starting AG, if you're really into it. I think we could discuss both books. Just probably going to be you me and Dave though. Then, when the rest of those interested are able to read, we can "re-discuss" it.

What I meant to say is, Rocinante, is if you want, read at your own pace and pleasure, and then come back here with thoughts and questions.

He doesn't have much power unless both you and me are gone for a while. So he is not a threat. Please relax Lai.

I finished Atlas Shrugged again about a week ago. Bruce, I understand that his power is limited now. I am just saying that we should be careful in the future.

Anyway, we are just picking a comic to read. Only thing that is really important is if it is a standalone story and available in one volume relatively cheap. Beyond that just seems to be making things more complicated then they have to be. And we should rotate a chooser for the polls. Each time they choose one book for the poll themselves(which may come up as a possible nom from others) and 4 from the stuff people mention.

Idea: You pick one of the options in all future polls. Each time there will be a 2nd person that selects something of their choosing and also selects three from stuff that is brought up. Quite a number of stuff will be brought up, so trying to come to a majority consensus is just too unwieldy. The main chooser each time will make the three picks pretty much on there own from stuff that has the support of at least a few of the people. When people bring stuff up for nomination, we should say rather or not we would have an interest in reading that. The main goal of showing interest would be just that, an interest in reading it.

Discussion shouldn't be geared toward crafting a nom list, that would be the job of the chooser(making sure there is support from at least a few people for the three poll options). Discussion should just be geared toward generating a list of stuff we would be interested in reading.
