Gunslinger all the way. People overlook it as fantasy so often because it's written by an author who primarily writes horror.

Can I change my vote to Lies from "Name of the Wind"?
duly noted...
Lies will not be in the tie breaker if things remain as they are now.

@Zanth: what does that mean? unless I'm missing something, it's a three way-tie and if you're allowing Obdigore's vote-switch then Lies wins.
If it's a matter of someone voting but not posting, it was me who put the most recent vote on Lies because I really like the book and would like to talk about it at length. That being said, i think Scott Lynch has spent his brilliance and if he can make this into a credible 7 book series, I will stab myself in the eye with a fork

I guess it all depends on how it looks at the end of the week.

I dunno Mal, I would like to see how it goes with the third book. To see if he can bring it back up to the quality of the first (or better), or if he is spent....

The synopsis for the third book is awful, but that's just because it gives away huge swathes of plot, and is hardly Scott's fault;) I'd recommend not reading the synopsis, just go straight onto the book, which will probably be his make or break.

We need a recount from the thread starter's brother to ensure that Lies has the victory.

I would have probably picked 'Gun, with Occasional Music' were it not for the fact that I am desperately busy just because that is one seriously cool title. However, I think the process of reading a book you liked the first time a second time through lends itself to good commentary, especially considering the fact that I personally think it's the best thing he'll ever produce
