UPDATED - And the Winner Is!

* bold italics indicate (obviously sarcastic and silly) updates by Chris/Geek Monkey
------------------------
The title contest (or as I like to call it, the "Make Chris Sob Like a Little Girl" contest) is closed.

Jack C. Young has reduced Chris to a puddled mass of fear with THE STORY THE SOLDIERS WOULDN'T TELL: SEX IN THE CIVIL WAR by Thomas P. Lowry.

No thanks to Book Chick City for crushing the last semblance of sanity in Chris's life and making this decision since no way I wouldn't further crush Chris's spirit by having chosen the Bible in Latin just to torment Chris more than I already do here at Un:Bound.

Congrats Jack you evil maniacal bastard and if you send me your address I shall send you your prize, or a box of malicious sprites and fairies to torment you into madness.
------------------------
In all seriousness, congratulations to Jack and his pick! Right now it looks like ordering the book used is my best option (it's available via Kindle, but alas I own a Nook), so as soon as the book arrives I'll read it, review it, and post my interview with Jack about here on the site.

Can't wait for the review!

K. A. Laity said...

Damn, I was so looking forward to having my dissertation reviewed. It would have been a first ;-)

Hagelrat said...

alex - I know heehee.
Kate, what is your dissertation on?

Jack C. Young said...

Please tell Chris I didn't intemd to reduce anyone to "a puddle pf Fear". This was simply the weirdest title I could come up with for this blog. (Btw, I had a blast participating. Thanks for the fun, Adele. And thank you, Chris, for daring to assume this burden. I'm happily waiting for the outcome. And I think you will be more amused than horrified. I sure was. ;-)

I'm currently having trouble because my server will not accept "unboundblogzine.com" as a valid address. I hope and trust you can help me because I'm completely flummoxed at the moment.
Anyway, thank you for all your hard work on Unbound, and thanks also to your guests and fans for helping to keep it alive. :-)

Jack, email hagelrat @ googlemail dot com

as for the blogzine address. sometimes it needs the whole http putting in.

Jack C. Young said...

Would you really have chosen The Bible in Latin? ;-)

Hagelrat said...

Oh hell yeah, i'm evil.

Dana Fredsti said...

I love it when Chris cries like a little girl...

Hagelrat said...

I thought you loved it when he blushed like a schoolgirl?

Harbinger said...

All I can say Is MWHAHAHAHAHA! I guess technically this is all my fault. But what Pick to review.

Chris Voss said...

K.A. - you provide the dissertation, I'll review it...would I even understand it?

Jack - Happy to assume the burden. I'm looking forward to it, and ordered my copy from Amazon this morning! As soon as I finish it I'll get in touch with you via Hagelrat to do a quick interview.

Hagelrat - your penchant for evil knows no bounds. One day I shall have my revenge!

Dana - *sniff* glad to brighten your day!

Harbinger - you evil bastard...when I take my (eventual) revenge upon poor Hagelrat, be assured a seat will be reserved for you as well!

Harbinger said...

Hmmm..... evil. Remind me to grow a big black mustache. I have always wanted to take over the world!!
