I've only read Tim's book on that list, but I'm having a hard time believing there was a better book written last year. Anyone who hasn't read it really ought to.

 

Good luck, Tim.

You really did involve us in this one, Tim, so we're taking a personal interest. Although I think I voted for the other title. :-)

 

Congratulations! And I get to vote for you, too.

Best of luck to you Tim, and congratulations.  Making the list is a terrific honor.  Can't wait to get my hands on the book.

Thanks to all of you.  This has been so crazy since yesterday morning that I haven't even had a chance to post anything about it here, so thanks, Jack, for putting this up.

 

It means a lot to me to get all these good wishes.  You're all aces in my book.

Thanks, Richard.  Am trying to break it as painlessly as possible.
