Oh, Charles de Lint. My vote goes to the book by an author from my adoptive city! :) Quills and Quire said that he is "one of Canada's best-kept literary secrets". Well, could this be my time to discover him?

Oh, AND he's a folk musician. Thanks B&R I learn something new every time I login. :lol:

Glad to have you aboard.;)
 
After looking all of them on the internet I found out that only The Lathe of Heaven by Ursula LeGuin is translated in portuguese. The only one I had heard of was Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston and I was divided between it and The Known World by Edward P. Jones. The decisive factor was the price, so my vote is on The Known World by Edward P. Jones.

I feel I have to be honest and admit that I will only participate in this BOTM in case the winner is Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston, The Known World by Edward P. Jones (both books I don't mind buying) and The Lathe of Heaven by Ursula LeGuin (that I can borrow from the library).

With this I'm not trying to influence the voting, I'm just justifying why, in case one of the other books gets chosen, I wont be joining in the discussion.
 
Ok, I voted for Charles deLint without checking on ANY title in this poll. And I don't feel one bit guilty either:lol: Now I suppose I should do the right thing and go do that...see ya in a bit:)

I'm back..looks like a promising bunch! The only one I really don't think I'd like at all is Imajica...
 
I voted for Weaveworld because I've already read it and I'm an occasional poll anarchist. Libra, you have my permission to count my vote for any book you want.
 
I voted for "The Known World" because it's been sitting in my wish list at Amazon and been wanting to read it for a while now. This will give me an excuse to get it now.
