Vote

Actually, we're too late to vote, but I think we should have our own vote for next year's Big Read book.  There's a list of 23 books to choose from.  I've only read 4 of them, feel bad that I haven't read 3 of them, and haven't heard of 11of them!  I'd like to hear something about those 11 from my RS reader friends.  Here's the list:
