Thanks folks… I reckon I’ll let the vote run for 24 hours or so and then start reading the winner. Damn I love this blogging thing:)

dear god! there are people with some real bad taste out there – sorry but The curious Incident of the DOg in the night time is probably the most gruelling books of boredom I had to endure. Overrated, over-praised, and certainly over-hyped. I saw Cloud Atlas in Smith’s the other day, and I dunno about the Howling thingy. Say no to bad books though. I still want the time I spent reading that tripe back.

wow – I picked up those three books in a 3 for 2 type deal. The ‘curious incident’ book I’d heard “of” but not “about” – if you get my drift. The other two were actually direct choices. “Howl at the moon” is the crazy accounts of the ex president of CBS records during his ‘hay days’ when most of the time he was on a drug and booze fuelled self destruction path, whilst running a business – sounds like a hoot!. As for “Cloud Atlas” – I’d seen a lot of good reviews but more importantly it proports to be a highly original (knits together sci-fi, political thriller and historical pastiche) book.
Oh well – I will just have to wait on the result of the vote tomorrow and see where it leads.
