    If that means we can nominate another, then I'll nominate David Lodge.

    If this is allowed, then we will nominate Viktor Pelevin
    If you believe even a half of this post, you are severely mistaken.

    I think I will nominate John Irving and Henry James.

    Papaya> Vonnegut has already been nominated by Charles Darnay.

    Seeing as I missed round 1 and it's already round 2, I'd like to nominate Angela Carter and Ian McEwan. Two birds, one stone
    I have a plan: attack!

    Someone mentioned that the list seemed kind of boring ealier on, but I am a bit embarrassed to admit that a lot of these authors I have not heard of. So I am excited to see which twelve will finally be picked.

    I will have to pick my second author...

    Grace, please feel free to nominate any author you would like to read. This is just nominations yet so when it comes to voting, eveyone will vote for the authors they would like to read.

    I would like to nominate H.P Lovecraft or Terry Pratchet for some lighter reading, but considering I only once read a book for this bookclub, only realising afterwards I read it in the same month, feel free to discard my nominations, as I will read both authors someday anyway.

    Mihail Bulgakov. I could reread Master and Margarita without a problem
    At thunder and tempest, At the world's coldheartedness,
    During times of heavy loss And when you're sad
    The greatest art on earth Is to seem uncomplicatedly gay.

    To get things clear, they have to firstly be very unclear. But if you get them too quickly, you probably got them wrong.
