As long as it's not a book suggestion, go right ahead.

As you pointed out, I forgot to include Janet, so if she wants to, she can nominate one book (I've nominated another) and we'll still have 10 suggestions.

I need to check my Kindle and see what I have unread.

I forgot to check.

Someone needs to remind me when I get home.

I don't have it with me.

Oh wait, let me look at my Amazon order history.

OK, my two offerings:

Halting State by Charles Stross

Occlith's been having computer problems and that's why she hasn't been around. I'll ask Janet to suggest two books and I'll suggest another and then I'll set up the poll.

I've asked Janet to suggest two books.

My second suggestion: The House At Riverton by Kate Morton.

You'll need to pick another the poll options are increased a bit

My Name is Asher Lev - Chaim Potok
My favorite book. Life imitates art as a young artist comes of age. The book explores Hasidim and the conflict between artistic and personal expression and religion.

The Long Goodbye - Raymond Chandler
Beautifully written (1955); using hard-boiled detective fiction as a vehicle for social criticism.
