[Printimus]

I am going to vote for number 3.

 

[Wolfy]

3. Easily the best fantasy book in the past couple of years. He just needs to finish the fucking third book already.

 

[Fin_Corso]

I vote 6

 

[August]

Goodreads. I vote 3.

 

[August]

If I could make a suggestion - Goodreads is yet another thing to sign up to and doesn’t provide a lot of value as it relates to discussion. Why not rebrand the monthly voting thread and use that to discuss the story with spoilers?

My reasoning is we’re all here and active, but goodreads simply isn’t where our conversation is.

 

[Sraika]

Normally i don't vote for my own nominations in the interest of fairness and democracy and all that, but fuck it, i vote 3 :p

 

[Han Burgundy]

I am going to vote for myself at #5

(Here's the book if you want to take a look at it) *Available in several e-reader formats fo free. That is Zero dollars and zero cents, folks. Heck of a deal for a bit of that Carrack fix.*

I like the goodreads website because they provide a lot of good info on the books we read, and since we cannot create a group here on the forums, its the easiest place to allot threads which can be easily found. It was meant for book club things similar to what we are doing. I will look into your suggestion further and discuss our options with the moderators and see what we can do.

But... we can create a group here... just twist Seungs nipples a bit and get one made.

Right, but from my previous understanding of how mods/leaders want the groups here on this forum, they want groups that only apply to SC gameplay, such as Mining, Combat, etc. I am in discussion with them about this currently and will get you all an answer soon.

perhaps we can call it something other than group, like 'club' or whatnot, that way all the actual groups are gameplay-related

 

[maynard]

the first of an excellent series
