Thank you to all of you who voted in the poll. It was a close one, but in the end Kelly Gallagher’s Readicide inched past Penny Kittle’s Write Beside Them by a single vote. The final tally was as follows:
- Readicide, Kelly Gallagher—8 votes
- Write Beside Them, Penny Kittle—7 votes
- Blending Genre, Altering Style, Tom Romano—5 votes
- The First Days of School, Harry Wong—3 votes
- Genre Theory, Deborah Dean—1 vote
Because the voting was so close, I’ll probably read/revisit the books in the order of voters’ preference. I am going on vacation next week, so I’m not sure if I’ll do Readicide before or after, but it won’t happen at all from July 6-10.

I have been thinking about getting Readicide…
I loved Tom Romano’s book and I used it to create my Multi Genre Research Project a few years ago. Have a great trip!
There was a great discussion of Readicide on the English Companion wiki. (Jim Burke’s blog links to it). Readicide was the subject of a reading group that included the author.
Thanks! I’m a member of the EC Ning, and I was aware of the conversation about Readicide, but there was some reason I couldn’t read the book right then (I can’t remember anymore what it was).
