This isn't the actual vote, you can nominate as many books as you'd like. They will all be added to a poll later and we'll vote closer to Feb.

On the first page it said one nomination per member. Is that not true?

Right, it's supposed to be one nomination per member - if you nominate more than one, Sara or Juanita will probably ask which one to use in the poll.

Kate Jordan (merrykat) There are some great choices here, but I'd like to put in a vote for Roots: The Saga of an American Family by Alex Haley. It's a long one for sure, but it is so gorgeous I've read it three times already.
