Well, the forum won't let me votebut if I could, I'd probably vote for Tales From A Greek Island. I'm trying to learn more Greek folk dance, and I think it would be interesting to find out more about the people who dance it
While I would like to tackle "The Oddysey" I think to venture into areas of Greek Literature not traditionally tread would be interesting. I am leaning toward "And Dreams are Dreams" myself, though unlikely to win the pole. Nevertheless, I will probably pick it up and read it once I am done with the winner.

I did a google search for the books Amazon didn't have a review for. I normally do this anyway, just to get more than one view. A very good, in depth review that made me decide on this book is at the following location:I can't find a synopsis online. What is it about?

I'm excited! I found this website in February but didn't have time to participate in the Book Club, so I only just signed up. I'm starting Papillon late, so I can't wait to actually read The Odyssey when you're discussing it. Great choice, voters.
To my endless shame I still have not read the Odyssey so I am happy that this book club gives the incentive to finally do so.
How did I forget to vote?!I can't believe it!Am I so confused lately?!I should definitely concentrate...Wow!
