Since we make this up as we go so wonderflly like the anarchic dance in Lot 49, I think, --don't you?,--- that after we all vote using the list below,
we eliminate the lowest vote getters......say those which get only one vote ?(which assumes that the someone who 
nominated THAT title, will at least vote for it)....And we vote again?

Sorta like they way they pick the Pope (except we get 3 votes not just one)?......

And/or should a first place vote get 3 points, 2nd two, etc.....? 

Then we either eliminate----(those whose choices get eliminated should have a revote among those titles left, for fairness, yes?) ----
Or choose the highest point-getter? 

Me: V.

       Against the Day

       Education of Hank Adams

Regards,
