Figured that was the case.....just wanted to make sure.
Ah well....all that made it to the poll are excellent and well worth a re-read.

I've gone for the Iliad which I haven't read yet.
If I could vote, I'd vote for the Theban plays since they look like they'd be more fun to study or discuss than the epics, or the Satyricon because I haven't read it. -How do these things work, anyway? Book clubs, I mean.
50 posts- you get to vote.
Otherwise you've missed the boat.
When the voting stage is done
50 or not, you can join the fun.
I hope that explains it clearly, succinctly and with a certain aplomb.
Otherwise I'm posted a lethal digital forum bomb.

50 posts? A piece of cake,
If I can take a Homer break.
It's, "Have a tripod, noble boy!
(We'll squeeze it from the hoi polloi.)
That decade was a bloody shame,
Here's hoping things go on the same."
I know it's deeper, oh I know,
But lets us string some other bow.
