I just did. Nice.

Even though Persuasion got the most votes by a significant margin, it did not garner the required 50%, so here's the runoff. I'll close it Saturday evening and announce the November 2008 book then. View Poll: November 2008 runoff poll

1. I stole the last Red Eye out of the holder thing today and thought of michellek  while doing so, because it was entitled "Hard 'Rock' Life" and had the 30 Rock cast on it and the article...start 'til 8!)
