I couldn't find the smooch button (even though I've smooched people before) so I just did it as a "give to charity" to this group. Is that OK?

Like many others, my first choice is Omnivore's Dilemma!

Thanks for the contest!

I posted a message in a LibraryThing thread asking the next person posting to the thread to choose a number between 1 and 12:

http://www.librarything.com/topic/106164#2430472

Just in case I didn't paste those URLs correctly, the number chosen was seven.

Congratulations, RebelSun! You mentioned you wanted Michael Pollan : The Omnivore's Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals. Please confirm and I will list it for you.

Thank you all for participating in my little contest and for supporting Hercules Invictus.

Wow! I can hardly believe it...this is like a dream come true. After all the waiting and sleepless nights, I don't know what to say. I always thought that the number 7 was over-hyped, but I now realize that it is truly deserving of its lucky reputation. I want to thank Jenny for having such a great idea and for providing the prize...I've been wanting to read Michael Pollan : The Omnivore's Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals for a long time. I want to thank Lola for administering the forum, facilitating contests like these. I want to thank John for creating the website that makes it all possible. I want to thank my wife and kids for all of their support (tearing up) while I worked and hoped for this day to come. I want to thank my parents for teaching me that it is OK to chase your dreams...(voice catches) Mom! I did it! Finally, I want to thank Mentira de Cepcion of the Psychic Friends Hotline for her words of encouragement...she's been telling me for years that my ship was about to come in...I should have never doubted her (stifled sob), and I never will again. Thank you all...I'm the king of the world!
