. . . With A Little Help From [His] Friends

Okay, poll's over, folks and the winner is . . .

Devil's Cape by Rob Rogers.

We Have Always Lived In The Castle by Shirley Jackson was enjoying a comfortable lead for some time before Rob - with whom I've swapped a few mails - posted this over on his blog:

"Stained, Glass Windows is running a poll on which book blogger Gary should read next. Devil's Cape is losing to Shirley Jackson! . . . Vote for Devil's Cape! Win one reader at a time!"

And lo and behold, it worked! I have been poll-crashed, my friends!

Still, don't get me wrong, I'm not exactly losing out here: I was planning to read all of those books anyway and am looking forward to Devil's Cape which I plan to start over the weekend. Plus I now get some of Rob's traffic as well as his friends will undoubtedly stop reading his blog and start coming here.

Won't they . . . ?!

Thanks for being a good sport, Gary. I hope my friends do indeed read your blog, although I'd just as soon they eventually return to mine. :)

Not stopping, but I will certainly visit from time to time. Thanks for being a good sport!
