I'm not sure if my vote counts since I haven't attended yet, but I'm going to try to start in December once school is out, so I figured I might as well charm in.

Gravity's Rainbow - Thomas Pynchon

The Shanara Trilogy - Terry Brooks

The Graveyard Book - Neil Gaiman

A Game of Throns (Song of Fire and Ice) - George R. R. Martin

I see that The Protector's War by Sterling is nominated. It is the second book in the series. Maybe Dies the Fire, the first book, would be a better selection. Joe
