I'm thinking, since we have each picked one of our own selections thus far, that we each get two votes. If one of the votes is for one of your own suggestions, then your second vote can't be. Yay, nay?

I voted Notes from the Underground. I haven't read anything from this genre before, so I'm happy to give it a read. The darkness and bitterness of the narrator's character kind of hits close in some ways.

I've also added dub81's vote for The four agreements.
