Vote for the Last Track for Best Reads of 2010 on GoodReads.com

Cazy week at work, as everyone temporarily transitions from the standard curriculum to the project-based experiential learning program for the next three weeks. Being my fifth time around the block, by Monday afternoon nearly everything will be humming and very little of the day will be spent putting out fires–freeing me up for the bigger picture strategy planning this summer.

Speaking of the day job, last week a colleague heard about the upcoming book release and let a number of people know about it. Definitely a nice surprise and show of support. Not that I hid writing explicitly, just followed the charter that my only priority during the day was addressing the community’s technical needs. Very few people even knew I wrote. Others in my life did know, but that only partially accounts for the outpouring of good tidings as of late.

Been very surprised at how many longstanding but infrequently seen acquaintances sent texts or email of congratulations in the past week; these missives arrived out of virtual air. Guess a lot more lurkers are out there checking the site than anticipated.

Anyway, The Last Track was nominated for the Best Read of 2010 on GoodReads. To vote, all it takes a is a quick and free registration on GoodReads.com–a really great site for a whole lot of reasons.

So please vote for The Last Track on GoodReads.com. Currently ( as of 11:19 PM EST ), it’s tied for fifth place. My thanks in advance.

    You’ve been more than generous! And you alerted me to GoodReads in the first place, so much thanks for that. The drawing for a free copy is up to 254 entrants and there’s 10 days left still.

    Goodreads is awesome, though, I’m possibly biased. I’m glad the giveaway is going so well — and I also noticed it’s been shelved by a growing number of people to be read.

    Congrats on the book, Sam. I haven’t picked up my copy yet, but I’ve got it on my Amazon list for my next big book buying spree (which is always soon!).

    Much thanks, Ian. I did mention you and Kathryn are in the acknowledgments before today, right? Anyway, you both are.
