| Might I make a suggestion? It might get a little messy, but start up a separate poll thread for deciding which book to read. Then come back to this thread or another one to actually discuss it. |
I was going to use this thread for deliberation, then start a new one for the each book that gets picked. So tomorrow night (Friday) I'll put up a poll here, inclusive of the nominations that have been seconded by then.
Nominations affirmed:
Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov (nom. by Wilkes)
Notes from the Underground by Fyodor Dostoevsky (nom. by digi)
Nominations waiting to be seconded:
The Shadow of the Torturer by Gene Wolfe (nom. by me)
The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula K.Le Guin (nom. by toptube)
The Revenants by Sheri S. Tepper (out of print, nom. by toptube)
The Sorrows of Young Werther by Goethe (nom. by Machine Gun Heart)
How We Are Hungry by David Eggers (nom. by Machine Gun Heart)
Night on the Milky Way Express by Kenji Miyazwa (nom. by Machine Gun Heart).
Nova Express by William S. Burroughs (nom. by Joe)
Notes from Underground by Dostoevsky (nom. by digi)
The Dead Father by Donald Barthelme (nom. by Ethoscapade)

Right. I'd say short stories are great, but let's just limit it to 3-5 stories from the collection to focus the discussion, and give it a shorter reading period. Sound good? So consider these nominated, and dark steve and shrug can pick out particular pieces to focus on in the mean time. |
Seconding the Gene Wolfe.
I might actually participate in this! |
