First of all, thank you to everyone who helped me pick the next book I’m going to read. If, somehow, you weren’t riveted to the comment section of the last post, Robert Heinlen’s Stranger in a Strange Land topped the charts with 3 votes.  This is only fitting, too, considering I’ve had this book for years, ever since Nathan let me borrow it, but have never been able to bring myself to start it.  Maybe this is the motivation I needed to finally sit down and read it.  Not sure what my hesitation was, since I’ve heard good things about it.

Second, so you realize I appreciated everyone’s participation, I’ll go ahead and read through my to-read stack in order of votes.  So that means after Stranger it will be Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, In Harm’s Way, and The World of Pooh, then on to The Gunslinger Born and A Brief History of Time.  I’ll be posting my thoughts on each of these books here as I finish them, so keep an eye out for that if you’ve read any of them.  And if you haven’t, hopefully I can offer some insight on if they are worth reading.  As for the books that received no votes, they will be destroyed by fire and their ashes flushed down a toilet.

Third, I don’t plan on doing this again anytime soon (since it would pretty much just be the same books over and over again, and that doesn’t sound all that exciting), but I have an idea for something similar – so if you enjoyed this, make sure you check back in a couple weeks for that.  Thanks again!

(P.S.  I am, of course, kidding.  I promise I’m not going to destroy any books.  I love books.  Sometimes I think they love me, too.)
