    I had a similar thought Schoky. I'm not participating in this month's book forum, so I am somewhat free. There are a couple of books here that I would want to read, but if they don't win I may not want to read the others.

    Voted Major Barbara because I'm reading the play for one of my courses in a week or two so it's convenient for me
    I have a plan: attack!

    There is no deadline for reading the books/taking part in the discussions. Like other threads in the Book Club, the thread will remain open indefinetely. You can read and post any time you choose.

    Although I voted for Barbara, I wouldn't (re)reading any of the books listed (apart from Dorian - read it enough times, I believe).

    I would love to try something by George Bernard Shaw again. I loved Pygmalion, and thank goodness Major Barbara is available online!

    I'm not going to vote, but if Major Barbara is selected I will probably join in. It is a fine play.
