Subject: Re: [nesfa-reading-group] Votes for November or December

I didn't realize the votes were being cast by email, and unfortunately, I am not sure if I can make it to very many meetings this fall with my schedule, but if that's not a problem, I would like to cast a vote for two Williams - Burroughs and Gibson. I read and enjoyed a few older books by William Gibson but haven't read this one. Haven't read Cities of the Red Night, but have read some of Burroughs' other work. Naked Lunch was difficult to get through at the time that I read it, and would welcome a chance to try again with Burroughs.
My votes:
- Gibson,William             2003 Pattern Recognition  (356 pages)
- Burroughs, William S.   Cities of the Red Night

Also, if not attending in a while is an issue, feel free to ignore my vote. Hope to drop in again soon.

- A.

Lethem,Jonathan            1994 Gun, with Occasional Music  (262 pages)
Moorcock,Michael           1972 An Alien Heat   (147 pages)

Shelly proposed these three: (with her later substitution)

Morris, Brandon Q        The Disturbance
Burroughs, William S.   Cities of the Red Night
Brunner, John                The Jagged Orbit

I saw exactly one vote for anything: Liz voted for "Gun, with Occasional Music" from my list.

No one voted on anything else. Wow, We need a pair of votes from the dozen people who usually show up at the reading group meetings.  I'd choose "The Disturbance" and from my own list, "An Alien Heat".

I've never read anything by Brandon Q. Morris. He seems to have about 6000 books listed on his web site, with "The Disturbance" listed as the eighth in his "Solar System" series, the first of which is "The Hole".
