Seconding The Bell Jar and Foucault's Pendulum (can't believe that hasn't been seconded yet). Can I also nominate another Eco? The Name of the Rose.
I’m not sure exactly what has what votes. I know Jean posted the list yesterday, but there’ve been some votes since. Is it okay if I just list the books for which I’d like to vote? I’m not introducing anything new, just voting on current options.
Thank you.
My votes:
11/22/63
1984
American Psycho
As I Lay Dying
Bell Jar, The
Clockwork Orange, A
Fahrenheit 451
Finnegan's Wake
Foundation
Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, The
Long Walk, The
Moon Is A Harsh Mistress, The
Ringworld
Sound and the Fury, The
Stand, The
Stranger in a Strange Land
Tarzan of the Apes
To Kill a Mockingbird
Weaveworld
It'll take a lot more than words and guns,
A whole lot more than riches and muscle.
The hands of the many must join as one.
And together we'll cross the river.

One more vote for Tarzan would be wonderful! One of my all-time favorite novels, and just republished by the Library of America for its 100th anniversary.
Tarzan
Lord of the Rings.
JRR Tolkein
WOW!! my Wolfie is here, and The Bell Jar has secondings!!! the only other thing that could make bears as happy would be if someone voted for The Bear Went Over the Mountain, an incredibly awesome novel.
Ask not what bears can do for you, but what you can do for bears. (razz)
When one is in agreement with bears one is always correct. (mae)
bears are back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have never had the pleasure of reading The Bear Went Over the Mountain, but I wanted to vote for it!
It'll take a lot more than words and guns,

Wanna change my last nomination from The Name of the Rose to The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao, both great but we need to get more New Jerseyans up in here!
Guys, it's no use nominating now, there's no chance the new nominations can be seconded in time. I will close the secondings and start the voting tomorrow (in about 16 hours).
So please second while there's still time!!!

I just noticed that Summer of Night won't be making it on
I'll add a point to Heart-Shaped Box, but I don't think it matters.
Only the gentle are ever really strong.
Summer of Night so far has your nomination and my seconding
there's still hope someone else will vote for it and for HSB. I am counting your vote in anyway. Such a lot of awesome novels are going to be left behind, it's tragic!

I can vote for HSB. I haven't read it since I was hospitalized for stress, but it sure helped me then.
It'll take a lot more than words and guns,
A whole lot more than riches and muscle.

I believe someone else must have made a similar mistake. Dishonesty has nothing to do with it. I am sure some of those have slipped my attention, too, so I am very grateful that you've pointed it out. I will remove one point from Murder after I re-check the history (sometimes people nominate out of turn, I don't accept the nomination, someone else nominates it etc.; it will all be far less confusing in the voring rounds).
ETA: Merlin's seconding for Murder is now replaced with mine (I think it should enter the first voting round)

bears are back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The ones with 3 or more secondings move one automatically.
The ones with 0 and 1 do not get to the next rounds.
The ones with 2 will be presently voted on: they are 41, and only 11 slots left on the list!
