Four nominations for December...choose your poison!

Chasm city, I have it and never read it yet.

Syn · 27th October 2005, 10:34 AM

i chose Accelerando, Charles Stross because the name looks interesting

Rane Longfox · 28th October 2005, 09:49 PM

Accelerando is also free to download off the internet. Official and everything, not illegal. Theres a thread somewhere about it too, but I don't know where. The search function has never worked for me

Of course, the downside of that is that you have to read it off a screen, or waste huge amounts of paper... Might actually be cheaper to buy the normal book

Free ?

Accelerando is indeed a free download. Stross has links to the download on his own blog site:

They've reissue Tiger, tiger? I could probably do that one from memory- or the demolished man- it's only about thirty five years since I last read it

Accelerando in a slight lead...poll closes soon so get your vote in if you haven't yet.

A vote for Ring of Fire/Eric Flint.

dwndrgn · 15th November 2005, 05:34 PM

Because there is a tie and some time constraints, one person needs to vote within the next hour to end the tie or I will choose the winner from the two options...

dwndrgn · 15th November 2005, 09:23 PM

The winner is Accelerando! Acquire and devour...
