Ill reference many of these nominations on what to choose to read. I hope I will have the time. I suggest we cap around 4-500 nominations to help filter through. I imagine well have a lot of novels with only a couple seconds battling it out to make the hundred we vote for placment on. I'll be reading five or more books at the cottage in a few weeks. A lot of these nominations have been books I've bought in the past year and haven't gotten to yet...want to second as many as I can.

Okay; actually, if your vote for Silence of the Lambs counts as a second rather than a proper nomination, then I guess you can nom Treasure Island now.(+1 from Merlin.)
None of Zaius's others count until he or someone else renominates them. Please, no one else try to second any from the earlier posts and throw off the sequence again.
Zaius, if you're still online now, you could go ahead and nominate one, since two people have nominated since the first one that's been counted from you. Or anybody else could go, except me (until there's one more) or Merlin (until there's two more.) That's how it works.
I was seconding "Silence of the Lambs"
Then I nominated "Jaws". Cool?

Sloth Love Chunk
Seconding: Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, Treasure Island, A Clockwork Orange.
Nominating: War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy.
If you are going through hell - keep going
I'm a little confused on the seconding - even if it's already been seconded do it again? As kind of a vote?
I nominate The Glass Bead Game by Herman Hesse.
Less seconds equals possible elimination from list

LOL, no, please, don't make it harder for me. The rules are made for fun, but also for consistence.
Go through the existing list. Nominate one novel that isn't already there. Explicitly second as many as you want.
I have to disregard this post of yours because it does not comply with the rules.
Ask not what bears can do for you, but what you can do for bears. (razz)

PRECISELY. That's the point. I'll make it clearer in the starter post.
