This is a reminder that you can still cast your vote for either _The Uplift 
War_ or _Kiln People_. Come on you lurkers! Join in!   :-)


Meanwhile, you may want to start thinking about who will do the initial 
reading and summarising of each chapter. IMHO, that should be someone who 
voted for that particular book in the first round. You know, something 
like you do the crime, you do the time.   :-)
Any volunteers yet?

Now, about that in-depth analysis of Brin books I proposed earlier...

I went through my list archive to tally the votes. As it turns out, we have 
a tie.

Three Brin books have received votes: _The Uplift War_, _The Practice 
Effect_ and _Kiln People_. There was one vote for _The Practice Effect_, 
which was later withdrawn. The other two titles both received three votes.

I vote for Kiln People - I have it sitting on my shelf waiting to be read,
so here's my chance.
