I mean this and not sarcarstic at all. Scher and Papayahed, you two always remind me of news commentators or talk-room hosts at the end of our voting session. You really make me smile and chuckle with your 'hopeful' tallies...and your 'it is never too late's' :lol:

Janine> I don't think we will be discussing Dubliners story by story as not everyone will be able to follow a strict reading-programme. We will, as always, post our comments as and when they happen, I think.
there is still time to sway the voting, Scher! :lol: Seriously only 4 votes are needed for the "Tain".
yeah but two of the people that voted for Dubliners dont have 50 posts or more clocked... so really.. it only needs two...
Going twice...
The Tain
The Tain
The Tain
Going on twice some more...
I've ordered Dubliners now, and will probably get it sometime next week.
Very happy to see that the board's membership has reached a consensus on Dubliners.
This decision is especially good for me because I started to read the book years ago when (uh!) I had a problem with amnesia! I had many good notes on the book's margins and was clearly enjoying my reading. But the problem is, I forgot the whole darn thing! I could not remember reading the book or any part of its contents!!!
Hopefully, all that is over now and I will be able to have lasting enjoyment of the book.
And speaking of this fine gem of a volume, literary historians have said it is a moraility tale of modern life. It reflects the universal experience in the form of an individual's experience. Each character may have an epiphany of some kind after some form of emotional or personal paralysis. To me, it reads like a modern day melodrama - what happened back then is the same as happens today in NYC or elsewhere. Thus, most of us can readily identify with its characters, settings, and experiences.
Enjoy!
Aww, and I was hiking in the Cooleys only a few weeks ago! Still, only being a newbie, I couldn't have swayed the vote.
you can still read it. Some of us are so...
Woohoo! I finished Dubliners at the start of this year so I'll be able to join in too! :)
I enjoyed it muchly. :D
:alien: I'm saying hello to all by the fairie pool. I am just a wee infant in this forum and i chose you to be my first contact. Are you by a fairie pool in the great emerald isle ? Could you be a bit more specific ?
Thanks from Gavaroche
