I voted K on Alas Babylon (extremely by the numbers but also very sexist) and Damnation Alley (a bit Mad Max: Fury Road, except dull and without any of the feminism - and that was the novella, so I can't even imagine how dull the expanded novel must be).

Edit: Also a K for the Wilhelm, based on my finding Where Late the Sweet Birds Sang both dated and dull.

Marry for Le Guin, because Le Guin is always good for a marry vote in my book, and a fuck for Blood Music. That's another one where I've only read the short story; possibly if all you want is the barebones idea of the thing, it might be worth it to go hunt the short story down instead of reading the novel.

And a question: what happens to the novels that don't win the F or K votes? Do they just keep hanging around your bookshelf?
