A lot of great choices this time. The Lovecraft and Dick books are among my all time favorites, but I've read them, and prefer to go for something new. Many of these books are in series, and I'm not prepared to get roped into that kind of commitment, so I'll go with The Road by Cormac McCarthy, which sounds like it has great possiblities.

I think it's long enough ago that I read Philip K. Dick's Hugo-winner that I could happily revisit it, so I'll vote for that one: The Man In The High Castle!

And another vote for Black Brillion. It seems to be the only one that has any votes.

You other people who have expressed a preference, might need to go back and actually cast a vote.

I'm pretty sure that the poll was added after the thread was created.

Given a somewhat tepid voting here, and the fact that many of us had already read some of the major contenders, the Science Fiction EZ Board has decided to sit this ARWZ group read out as a cross board experience.

We're going with our own Group Read June 15th - July 15th, and anyone here would of course be more than welcome to participate. It'll be by the author M. John Harrison and features his 1974 novel The Centuari Device.

Some of us may still participate in whatever is decided for the ARWZ read, but will just do so here on the home board rather than at Science Fiction. Please still consider working with us jointly in the future, should the book choices and interest level warrant cross-board collusion.
