I'm so sorry! Having never read the story, I was completely unaware of the fact that it was a spoiler for the story.

Gah! Must. Learn. To. Use. Brain!

Screened. Thank you! I never even thought of that.

Hi all. Just so everyone knows, I cant read The Lottery for personal reasons. Nothing against the story or author or your choices but I can't read it again. Not trying to cause trouble just want to let everyone know ahead of time on that one so you aren't upset if I don't participate in that one as it seems to be currently ahead by a large margin. Thanks for being understanding. I am going to read another of the stories for my own interest.

Well, as far as the novels are concerned, if it isn't one that's free online or that I can get at our local library, I'll have to read a different one or wait until I can get a copy in from wherever I'd order from. There are no bookstores open around here right now. I honestly don't know if our local library has number 1 or 3, because I haven't checked, but those are the only ones I'm worried about.

I'm a total fan of the 'full text available online' stuff. Just because I'm broke. But I wanted to say, thanks for the links... they are appreciated. :)
