Random quote: "Swords, Lances, arrows, machine guns, and even high explosives have had far less power over the fates of nations than the typhus louse, the plague flea, and the yellow-fever mosquito. Civilizations have retreated from the plasmodium of malaria, and armies have crumbled into rabbles under the onslaught of cholera spirilla, or of dysentery and typhoid bacilli. Huge areas have been devastated by the trypanosome that travels on the wings of the tsetse fly, and generations have been harassed by the syphilis of a courtier. War and conquest and that herd existence which is an accompaniment of what we call civilization have merely set the stage for these more powerful agents of human tragedy." ― Hans Zinsser, Rats, Lice and History

Im very excited to see the Campbell nominees up and I want to read every one of the twelve books nominated. What is really interesting is that seven of the authors nominated have won the award. Who do you want to win the award and who do you think will win?

There are some great books in that list for sure.  All big names too including, as I've seen posted elsewhere, 4 Canadian authors.  No surprise so many have won the award before.  I've only read Gardens of the Sun so far but there are a few more on my reading list already like The City & the City, Wake and The Windup Girl .

As far as what's going to win I've no earthly idea but if I was to guess I'd say The City or Windup based on what I've heard about them both.  Haven't read enough to pick a favorite.  Gardens is really good but I don't think it's made as big a splash as the others on the list.

Where are you going to start?
