Hi Book Clubbers,
At tonight's meeting, we selected the following books:
1. Charlatan, by Pope Brock, and (chosen by Jim & Caron who will host our next book club meeting;
2. Can't Wait to Get to Heaven, by Fannie Flagg.
Happy reading. See you soon.

We proved once again last night that the club can't stick to any rule for very long. After the first vote produced a tie between the Fannie Flagg book and "Love in the Time of Cholera", somehow we ended up voting again rather than use the "Random Rule". And we allowed a nominee by an absentee member (Caron). Granted we only allowed that nomination since we knew it would gather no votes. And there is talk that we will have a new method of selecting a book in May based on associating a book with a horse in the Derby. Is this flaunting of the rules a good thing or a bad thing? I'd like to see your thoughts. Anyhow we had a fine evening as always - Thanks Cathy and Scott. And I think we have a couple of good books - pleasant reading all.
I preferred the "second round of voting" tie-breaking method over "random choice"
I agree with Bob. Not sure what to say on Dan's though.....
Of course, I like anything to do with "rule mayhem" processes. Not that I really care which way things go, just as long as they "go". I enjoy the debate, challenges, passions, and fury of a good book club brawl. As long as there is no blood, so to speak.
So, I am, of course all for keeping it a bit fluid. Perhaps for May we could use the race to pick the top 3 books (by win, place, show). Then we could use our "traditional" (boring)chips-in-the-box method the choose from those 3.
In the end though, I really don't care how books get picked.

Snidely...I love it when you talk that way.
The next host should pick the first book like the rules say. The books nominated should be given a derby horse name picked from a hat. The winning horse is the next book to be read. If you don't like the derby winner then go with place or show. We need to make sure every horse has a book. Everyone needs to bring at least one book.
