June / Greece Reading Poll

Which one did you have in mind?
The problem is that all the books i have in mind are translated in english but i can't find them in amazon.

I can't seem to find any greek lit to nominate.

That's quite interesting. Seeing that the other book i mentioned would be hard to find through amazon (but do read it Antiquarian and everyone else, you won't regret it ;) ) i'll end up nominating

The Third Wedding by Costas Taktsis

ok it is my final word :blush:

Everyone can call me a nerd now. I nominate The Peloponnesian War by Thucydides.

Yeah, but its chances of being chosen are probably slim to none. :D

You are a student? I thought you were much older..Anyway we did a lot of the ancient texts in school. Now i can fully appreciate their quality and worth ;) Can't say the same for when i was in high school :lol:

As long as the books are available in English, it doesn't matter whether they are sold by third parties or amazon itself. It is our members' responsibility to get hold of the books that they would like to read. Of course, it might be a determing factor when it is voting time (I.e., people might not like to vote for the books which are not readily available.)

Nominations so far:

1. Zorba the Greek by Nikos Kazantzakis.

2. Captain Michalis by Nikos Kazantzakis".

3. Odyssey by Homer

4. Tales From a Greek Island by Alexandros Papadiamontis

5. The Third Wedding by Costas Taktsis

6. The Peloponnesian War by Thucydides
