our discussion and polls!!

Well, we had a nice meeting last night to discuss Pig Tales. It didn't seem that many people had much good to say about it, though people didn't seem to be particularly annoyed at having to read this book. It is nice and short!

On another topic, we also talked a bit about the voting process. For now we decided to continue with our email approach. Basically, if you come to the meeting, or send me or Astrid an email, we'll put you on the email list. With this list, people can send out suggested books, and then after a day or two, I list the options which you can vote on.

I'm still a beginner at some of this web technology, and I've been getting some good suggestions (thanks Yolanda and Nathalie!) about ways to make this blog more useful. For example, maybe the voting should happen here? Or at least the list of books.

Just to play around with different options, I tried adding some polls on the sidebar. One via blogger and one from polldaddy. Not sure how useful or interested people are in this, but if you have a suggestion post a comment.

So our next book will be non-fiction. I'll announce the result when we get it...
