    It is too late to nominate, I am afraid.

    We are already voting as you can see from the poll attached. Hope you can find something you like from the selection offered.

    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.

    You still have a week or two, you can definitely make it to 50 (and if you have trouble with that there are the Games threads and the Introductions forum).

    All the options sound really good. I think I'll wait until the end to vote, if there's a close tie.
