What about Warbreaker by Brandon Sanderson? I know that many of us love his work, its a stand alone, and new enough that many may have not read it yet. I think it would instigate some great discussion.
Flesh and Spirit by Carol Berg - gorgeously written, completely original, full of great twists and surprises, incredibly well drawn characters.And the duology is finished, so no waiting to see how she wraps everything up.
I loved this book.
Shapechangers by Jennifer Roberson. A great storyline! Many people havent heard of it and i think it is a great book for fantasy readers. My personal favorite series. Im just nominating the first book.
I will nominate The Last Unicorn by Peter S. Beagle. Just read it last and really loved it. It's a classic.

Have we discussed Guy Gavriel Kay yet? If not, I wouldn't mind attempting one of his. How about Tigana? I hear a lot of good things about it.
I'm nominating The Blade Itself by Joe Abercrombie once more. I figure it is due to win....I've heard lots of great things about these and I have the first book, so I need a little push to crack the spine and dive in...

Ok, here are the nominations going in the poll:Warbreaker by Brandon Sanderson
Flesh and Spirit by Carol Berg
Shapechangers by Jennifer Roberson
The Last Unicorn by Peter S. Beagle
Tigana by Guy Gavriel Kay
The Blade Itself by Joe Abercrombie
http://www.goodreads.com/poll/show/21... - You can also go to the "polls" section and it should be right up top, or scroll to the bottom of the group homepage, since I made it a featured poll.
Well... I'm not sure how many times this book has been in the poll and lost, but this time was the charm I think. The Blade Itself by Joe Abercrombie has FINALLY won! (I feel a splurge coming this weekend!)
Seriously? Congrats, Blade...it's been a long time coming. You finally won that Oscar....
Ok. So this is the book for october?
