A web site called LoveReading.co.uk is running a poll (in conjunction with Good Housekeeping, no less) to find the best books of the decade. Their long list contains a number of those books that tend to get described as “not science fiction”. They are written by people like David Mitchell, Nick Harkaway, Audrey Niffenegger, Cormac McCarthy, Susanna Clarke and Sergei Lukyanenko. You can vote for as many books as you like, but only once per book. Let’s see what we can get Good Housekeeping talking about. Vote here.

But their ‘ Long List ‘ is THEIR long List as selected by THEM with no provision being made to add to the Long List and thus make it An Even Longer List.
And Yet .. ‘ Good Housekeeping ‘ still exists ? I’m still continually amazed that ‘ Readers Digest ‘ still exists, though I am confident that I will win their latest lottery, which win will cover my book buying budget forever .. but, ‘ Good Housekeeping ‘ ? GOOD GRIEF !
And yet there’s Susanna Clarke embedded in the List .. oh, I dunno .. it’s a Scam .. but even so ..
I wanted to vote, but there was no Michael Chabon or Ian Rankin, or…… As A. Aikien says above – it’s a fraud! Bah!
Hey, would I encourage you to crash a legitimate poll? 😉
Well, it’s just a book club poll. I know every single book from the last two years of my two book clubs. I loved the Zafon because I am a sucker for Dumas and it’s a total homage.
