2. When making a nomination, please use "add book/author" link to help moderators and others view the book selected.

3. Only seven books, by seven different authors will move forward to each poll. This will be determined by the number of seconds a book receives. The seven books with the most seconds move to the poll.

4. One nomination and one second per member will be allowed. A nomination can be changed only until it has been seconded. Once seconded, in fairness to the member making the second, the nomination will stand.

You may change a second from one book to another. Please state which book you originally seconded and which you would like to change to.

5. In the interest of variety, please wait a month or more to renominate a book that has been in the poll. These are the books from our last poll:

Les Misérables by Victor Hugo
The Island of Dr. Moreau by H.G. Wells
Candide by Voltaire
A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess
An Ideal Husband by Oscar Wilde
The Three Musketeers by Alexandre Dumas
Dangerous Liasons by Pierre Choderlos de Laclos


6, Only one book per author; in the event of more than one book by the same author is nominated, only the first one to receive a second will be eligible. The nominator of the ruled ineligible book will be able to nominate a replacement or second another already in nomination.
