Just a quick aside. For anyone who enjoyed Only Forward, MMS has written some other stuff, one of which I can highly recommend by the name of Spares.

Okay the votes are in, and totalled ...
It's a tie. Lamb and Only Forward each have three votes for number 1 pick. The tension mounts, as the individual weighted calculations are done for each book ... Snow in August ... 15 Lamb ... 16 Only Forward ... 17 So, the Book of the Month for May shall be Only Forward by Michael Marshall Smith

Got mine yesterday at ye olde used book store down the street from my house for a mere $3.25.
I was already pumped about reading the book (my first choice) then I saw that the cover has a great review blurb from one of my favorite authors, Clive Barker. WooHoo!

I read Only Forward a few years ago at my brother's suggestion....Every so often it sends a little shiver down your spine.....in a lyrical sort of a way.

Damn. I guess I have to change the name of my manuscript.
It was "Brave Cowboy Ghost Soldiers Deliver Us From Evil". Now, I don't know what to call it...

Clodfobble, we need about a week to vote and a week to order the books. Beestie, could you have three choices by the 19th (wednesday)? If you think you need more time, just say so, I don't think it's a big deal. |

Oops, you're right, the 24th was when the votes were supposed to be tallied and the winner declared. I smoke crack.

It occurred to me after I posted about time travel on the philosphy forum, theres an amazing book which plays with that theme a little. If you guys havent read it yet it's a very strange book. "Behold the Man" by Michael Moorcock. Basic run down;a chap goes back in time to see who/what Jesus really was.....I'll not tell you any more just in case any of you want to read it, wouldnt want to spoil the plot:P

June picks are up
Here are the selections for June. Choose 2. Choice 1 gets 2 points and choice 2 gets one point. Most points wins. I'll break a tie. Polls close Monday morning (May 24th) at noon GMT.
