Poll - Tildes Book Club - Should we add Kindred and the City We Became to our schedule before nominating new titles?
In our last voting thread, Kindred by Octavia Butler, N K Jemison the City we Became, each earned a high number of votes.
Should we add them to our schedule, or should we hold a new voting thread?
I have withdrawn the recent voting thread until I get responses to this question.
Edited to remove Anathem for length
Yes, we should add these books to our current schedule.
Yes, I think this is a good idea.
I changed my vote to this now that Anathem isn't included. @DefinitelyNotAFae, you might want to now as well, if I understood you correctly. :)
Ty much
I think so because both were popular choices that did not got in the last time.

No, we should hold a brand new voting thread.
Yes, let’s add those books.
Edit: Issue resolved now. Please label this comment as Offtopic, so it doesn't interfere with the voting.
Can we have a third option; Add Kindred and The City We Became to the list but not Anathem?
Don't get me wrong, I love Stephenson, and have read Anathem already. So I would not begrudge it if everyone else wanted to add it to the list, and I would happily participate in the discussion afterwards... but I think the reason it was taken off the list last time is a valid one. It's almost 1000 pages long, compared to Kindred's 300 pages, and The City We Became's 430 pages.
p.s. Even though I wasn't the person who originally nominated it, I was going to nominate The City We Became again myself if nobody else did, since it almost made the last round and I still want to read it. I also just finished reading Jemison's Broken Earth trilogy, and it was great. So I would love to read more of her books.
Voting for this instead of Yes.
Thanks for clarifying. I had forgotten the details. Editing now
