well, you should smoke more pot on Sunday afternoons. There's no need to wait until tuesday. you do the order since it was your idea. lets not get tripped up over a detail. take the 3rd letter of each user name and go reverse alpha or some shit. OR....pick your favorites first. it matters not. you do it. do it now. lets get going. I got your back if anyone questions you. This starts tomorrow.

Alrighty then,

For the impatient out there, I'm just going to pick somebody tonight.


Determined through random number selection, the month of April's Book Chooser is, ...

mrnoodle


People can still sign up until tomorrow, but then that's it, no more people can be in the running for book selection.

mrnoodle, give us something good to read, or else we will riot

When were we supposed to get the title of the book so we could go shopping?

huh? who? wha..
sorry, I had stepped away. Let's see, three books. Today's theme is 'death'.

Death of the American West book: The Brave Cowboy by Edward Abbey

Death March (Bataan) book: Ghost Soldiers by Hampton Sides

Death of Liberalism illustrated: Deliver Us from Evil by Sean Hannity (just to be that way)

I like em all for different reasons.

mrnoodle, when I search on amazon for Ghost Soldiers, I get at least two books with the same title, but different subtitles.

Is it Ghost Soldiers: The Epic Account of World War II's Greatest Rescue Mission

or

Ghost Soldiers: The Forgotten Epic Story of World War II's Most Dramatic Mission


Both are by Sides.



My first choice will be Deliver Us from Evil

I thought we were going to each rank the three instead of just voting for one. No big deal either way.

Oh, and voting ends on Sunday, that should be enough time.

1. The Brave Cowboy
2. Ghost Soldiers
[note: I've read Ghost Soldiers... the only reason I put it #2. Slarti, I'm pretty sure they just changed the subtitle for the paperback release.]
3. Deliver Us From Evil

If you want a ranking of three, then ...

Hannity
Brave Cowboy
Ghost Soldiers

I have not read any of the three ... although I may have ordered Hannity's book from townhall.com. I have to check on my order status there ...
