FMK #27: Judge A Book By Its Title
Last week's winners were not what I expected! But F goes to The Red Tent and K goes to The Magicians (which is WAY more hated than I had realized! For good reason apparently.)
How FMK works, short version: I am trying to clear out my unreads. So there is a poll, in which you get to pick F, M, or K. F means I should spend a night of wild passion with the book ASAP, and then decide whether to keep it or not. M means I should continue to commit to a long-term relationship of sharing my bedroom with it. K means it should go away immediately. Anyone can vote, you don't have to actually know anything about the books.
I pick a winner on Friday night (although won't actually close the poll, people can still vote,) and report results/ post the new poll on the following Tuesday, and write a response to the F winner sometime in the next week.
Link to long version of explanation (on first poll)
This week's theme: I have no idea what this book is about, I'm pretty sure I only have it for the title.

There apparently also is some attraction in Kathmandu with that name where you can ask a holy tree stump for divine intervention against your toothache by nailing a coin to it.

...I appear to live in the teeny tiny bit of the east coast that's to far north for the southern one and too far south for the northern one. Story of our life! Although we'll probably get the southern one soon- we already have devils-walking-stick and we're supposed to be to northerly for that too.
