When one is in agreement with bears one is always correct. (mae)

I vote for American Psycho and White Fang.
My nominee, American Psycho. Hopefully it makes it
White Fang! Love it and, incidentally, it's the only one I've read of the group...

I voted Little Women. I can't stand Brett Easton Ellis, he bores the pants off me - I just find his writing so dull. American Psycho was alot more to the point and very disturbing, but I didn't enjoy it.
On The Road I also found a little too convoluted and White Fang - well, it's just been too long since I read it.
Ellis and London look like they might advance, but the other three are very close behind. Everything might change in the next 30 hours (the poll will be closed in about 30 hours from now)

Shame Ellison isn't getting more votes. I personally enjoyed that book very much. It should make the list, but we shall see
28 in 23 (?)!!!!

Yes!
Ellison came so close.
Jean, this was a really tough grouping. Any chance for the "Judges" to intervene on this one?
At the very least Ellison and "Little Women" should get "Honorable Mention", no?

Perhaps future tourneys using random grouping should consider a double-elimination round.
We'll have, as pablo suggested, an Honorable Mentions list, but for the Top 100, alas. I said countless times in the Nominations thread that the secondings were the first round of voting. If these novels had collected enough secondings, they wouldn't have had to compete here.

I'll assume you are just speaking for your own suggestion, which didn't have very much to do with what I was talking about, anyway. I've also been thinking about Enhancing Our Grading System -- probably not too long now til that thread will need bumped again for pablo. For Ralph Ellison's Invisible Man, I hope to insinuate only this: more people should read it. Whether it is listed here or there, I actually hardly care. Just for anyone unfamiliar, I want to say "give it a try" while there's a chance, and if there are "PTBs" that don't want to hear even that... too bad.
Mike, the main meaning of this event, at least as far as I am concerned, is exactly this: to draw people's attention to the books they haven't read, since the books are nominated by people whose opinion they value. I know I haven't been working on it hard enough, but I hope I (or none of us, for that matter) am not going to die tomorrow.
There's a special thread dedicated to this, by the way.
