It really explored the two books in depth. I loved how the two of you managed to bring up the best of both books, and although I have only read MY Most Excellent year and fell in love with it (so I sort of sided with Ana) I could totally see Chris's view, and I was intrigued at how the discussion developed. Some things about MMEY I hadn't payed too much attention at, where the main focus of discussion sometimes, which mean I have to read it again! As for Charlie, I'm really really curious! now that I expect to find him a jerk, I might even be prepared to see why he acts this way and pay attention to his development. Hope I get to read it one of these days:) Wow, I really enjoyed your debate. It really explored the two books in depth.

Your and Ana's discussion is the first one I've seen that touched on so many of my thoughts. I adore so much about Steve Kluger, but the superficiality didn't work for me. More and more as I read people's thoughts (Kluger's included) I get that that's exactly what he was going for. But I think I really need to read Charlie, especially after reading Steve's comment.

I admit I haven't read ALL the post, but I did bits here and there, and from the bits I read I think I might be more interested in reading Charlie. Does that make you happy? :) Congratulations for such a great project. You guys should do this every year, like every other award! Well that has been interesting!
