OFFICIAL NON-FICTION POLL: Vote for our next NON-FICTION book!

[Chris OConnor]

ABOUT THIS POLL:

Like our currently running fiction poll, this NON-FICTION poll is very different than anything we have ever done here on BookTalk.org. The 10 book choices were chosen using a combination of suggestions made by members AND suggestions made by an artificial intelligence app called, Pi, Your Personal AI Assistant. Two of the book choices were suggested by members, and 8 were selected by AI. I asked Pi to list 8 NON-FICTION books published in the last 15 years that have been popular with book clubs and reading groups and that would make for quality book discussion topics.

HOW AND WHEN WILL A WINNER BE SELECTED?
There are a total of 10 NON-FICTION books on this poll. The book that gets voted for by a minimum of 6 active members will win and be selected for our next NON-FICTION discussion. This next book discussion doesn't have a planned start date. The discussion will start once we have enough interest in a book. Once it starts, it will be a 90-day book discussion, as always.

WHAT IS AN "ACTIVE" MEMBER?
An active member is someone who has made some quality posts on the forums and is someone we feel is likely to participate in the book discussion.

HOW CAN I HELP GET THIS NEXT NON-FICTION BOOK DISCUSSION STARTED?
First of all, cast your votes as soon as possible. Next, help pull in additional participants either from the BookTalk.org forums or elsewhere online or even offline. Tell your family and friends about this upcoming non-fiction book discussion and get them to join us. Post about this non-fiction discussion on other websites such as Facebook, Twitter, and other popular social media. Help get the word out and we will have yet another amazing book discussion started shortly.

HOW MANY BOOKS CAN I VOTE FOR?
Vote for any, and all, of the 10 books that you would read and discuss. You can vote for 1 book, 2 books, 3 books, or any number up to and including, all 10 books. The more books you vote for the more helpful you will be to your fellow members and the community as a whole. If people only vote for one or two books, this poll will take a long time to conclude. Your flexibility as a reader and forum participant is very appreciated.

CAN I CHANGE MY VOTE AFTER I HAVE ALREADY VOTED?
Yes, change your votes at any time up until the poll closes. And feel free to attempt to get other members to revise their votes.

If we could just get a few more people to participate in this we could launch the next book discussion.
