Good question David, I plan on taking the books with higher vote count to the finial poll starting on May 16th.
Thanks for keeping me straight. Do you think it would cause a stir if I used the bottom of the list for the next round?

Oh boy, now I feel like a dork :p. I guess because I had been talking with Bob about it in PM I knew it was the top pollers that would be going on to the next round. I apologize for laughing, I didn't realize it wasn't clear.
Bob will be sending the winning (some number, not sure how many), on to the next/final round. The winner of the next one will be our 3rd quarter reads.

Matt it is for the trilogy, the individual books do not meet page requirements for the Long Read.
