Future Book Nominations

[razz]

-

[BROWNINGS CHILDE]

Just because I want to read it anyway, and have heard so many good things about it:

I wish to nominate "Fevre Dream" by George R.R. Martin.

[flaggwalkstheline]

I would like to nominate The Great And Secret Show by Clive Barker

[Brice]

Can I nominate any book Jane Austen didn't write?

[Jean]

Can I nominate any book Jane Austen didn't write?
No, you can't, but you can nominate any book she did, or all of them - I think a special concession can be made for you in our Rules for this occasion.

[Brice]

I would rather...


Nevermind! ;) :lol:


Suffice it to say reading her name is painful enough. Her writing is one step BELOW Harlequin Romances.

I would like to nominate The Great And Secret Show by Clive Barker

:thumbsup: I was actually contemplating nominating one of her books.

[turtlex]

What about "The Once and Future King" by TH White?

( re-telling of the legend of King Arthur, based somewhat on Le Morte D'Arthur )

[candy]

i nominate (drum roll please)

war of the worlds - GH wells:nana:

[razz]

i nominate (drum roll please)

war of the worlds - GH wells:nana:
Don't you mean H.G. Wells? :P

I nominate The Things They Carried - Tim O'Brien

[Letti]

I don't think anyone will vote for it but here you are: Flowers for Argernon by Daniel Keyes

[turtlex]

That's an excellent suggestion, Letti.

[razz]

Actually, I think i considered it for last book club as a nomination, before it was decided to stick with what we already had. I second Flowers for Algernon :)

[Letti]

That's an excellent suggestion, Letti.

[Jean]

[kirin]

[candy]

Noooooooooo - i hate that book!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Jean]

Noooooooooo - i hate that book!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
gr gr gr?

[candy]

admited, it was 10 years ago (or possibly more) that i tried to read it, but from what i can remember it felt like the mental equivalent of banging my head against a brick wall.

I shall give it another try because bears like it:rose:
and they scare me when they growl at me:scared:

[Jean]

bears weren't really growling, they were purring in a questioning way

Yes, I think you should try to reread it now! It's one of the best books ever, in bears' opinion http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k291/mishemplushem/Facilitation/0134-bear.gifhttp://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k291/mishemplushem/Facilitation/0134-bear.gifhttp://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k291/mishemplushem/Facilitation/0134-bear.gif

[Heather19]

Are you still taking nominations? If so, I'd like to nominate Turn of the Screw by Henry James.

[razz]

Nominations are indeed accepted!
however there seems to be very little activity :orely:
Hey Jean, do you think we can get an announcement at the top of the page scrolling marquee?

[razz]

bump.
looking to move past 1984 >.>

[BROWNINGS CHILDE]

I would 2nd Turn of the Screw, 3rd Great and Secret show, and 4th Catch - 22

[cody44]

The more I look over this list, the more I want to read Catch-22 and The Great & Secret Show. Some good ones on this list. :panic:

[Beambounder]

Swan Song ,By Robert R.McCammon and Carrion Comfort by Dan Simmons.
Also I must not forget Slaughterhouse 5, Kurt Vonnegut of course.

[BROWNINGS CHILDE]

Second slaughterhouse 5

[candy]

excellent news. just let me know when we are ready to move forwards as i think i have nominated and seconded:cowboy:

[pathoftheturtle]

I know I haven't been in here much yet, but I'd third The Turn of the Screw.

I also agree that it might be interesting to discuss The Great & Secret Show.

I don't think anyone will vote for it but here you are: Flowers for Argernon by Daniel KeyesNo...don't think so, here. But, say, have you read The Minds of Billy Milligan?

[Brice]

Actually both of those two are excellent.

[razz]

list has been updated, let me know if we're good to begin voting

[candy]

i'm ready, willing and waiting:excited:
i'm just looking for an excuse to stop reading a borin book

[candy]

bump

[BROWNINGS CHILDE]

Just a thought, but how about Under the Dome, as I will have no interest in reading anything else untill I am done with that, and it would be a shame to miss the opportunity to all experience a King book (a good one I expect/hope) together for the first time.

[Jean]

I think it will be done in Cara Laughs, I am sure Under the Dome will be the Book of the Month as soon as it is out.

Only I have no idea where I could take it... not until I go to France in April, but even then it will be hardback, so I won't be able to buy it... http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k291/mishemplushem/Facilitation/bear_sad.gif

[candy]

yeah, and due to money constraints at the moment mine is christmas present,
is the vote poll going to be up soon do we know?

[razz]

If someone wishes to take the reigns of this, feel free to. I don't have the patience or attention span to keep it running.

[stone, rose, unfound door]

I'm 4thing the Turn of the Screw

[Jean]

grrrrrrrrrrrr

[candy]

aw sweetie. not too worry i am sure someone will pick up the reins. I would - but due to being computer stupid i would not be the best person for the job.:huglove:

**sits and waits patiently for someone to come along**:thumbsup:

[Jean]

computer skills don't have anything to do with it. I'll make all the polls for you, or anything else you might need.

[Heather19]

Can we just set up a poll to pick the next book?
I'd offer to take over, but honestly I'll only be participating if it's a book that interests me. Could we just have the person that nominated the book take over the discussion if their book wins?

[Jean]

A very good suggestion, to my mind. I hope it will be considered by

our new President -
