For what it's worth, it seems odd to me that your guidelines permit an author to be repeated after only six months. Illium sounds like a really interesting book, and I am sure that I will read it (though probably not until Olympos is out in paperback), but I can't see voting for it when you have already done Hyperion and there are so many many authors out there that you haven't covered yet. Just my $.02 :) .

Good point, clong. We allow it, but it doesn't say it's going to happen. As you have said, there are a lot of authors out there....

Your example is one though that wouldn't necessarily work, as Olympos follows on from Ilium. It would have to say, be Hyperion and Ilium with six months apart, if I remember right.

(Now whether we count Hyperion and Endymion as two separate series is an interesting point. But I think we would.)

But such a ruling would allow us to read Hyperion and then say Ilium if the members wanted to, with enough time to allow us to compare.

Is there going to be a set reading schedule either by page or chapter that we will be advised to go by so that we don't ruin anything in our discussion of the book for somebody who may not have reached that point in the book?

The way it's been so far, if I may field the question, is:
a book is selected for a given month in advance by the vote you have probably already seen. When that month rolls around, the thread for the book is offically open, usually by Erfael, and people start to post in it. Sometimes Erfael posts topical questions to get the ball rolling.
That's it! No page by page, chapter by chapter or any of that. When the thread is posted, it's assumed you have already read the book, or will keep away until you have, if you're afraid of spoilers. ;)

um i was wondering:confused: where do you vote on which book to read for the month:confused: or just where to see which book has already been voted on?
