I agree and confess my vote was only based on having had a copy of the book I voted for and hadn't read it yet. But all were interesting choices and having read Stone Blind can especially vouch for it.

I loved Birnam Wood and was shocked to see so many people found the start tedious and slow...for me it was a real pageturner.
I read Birnam Wood recently so will not be joining you , but will be interested in the discussion.
My library has a copy! Most of the selections here are not available, even at the main. Hoping to join you all.

But I know a lot of people responded to it, and think it would make for an interesting discussion book.

(Although, I'm doing an atrocious job this year of accurately estimating how much reading I can/will do in terms of volumen/pace.)
