    Book Club Proposal 2011

    Please vote for the nomination system you would like the Book Club to follow in 2011 by September 15th.

    You can choose more than one option.



    1. Author of the month: 12 authors to be chosen and each month we choose a book written by one particular author. E.g. In January we include only Camus' works in the poll and read one of those in February.

    2. Genre of the month: Different genres to be selected and we nominate/vote for books belonging that particular genre each month. E.g., March: Month of Sci-fi so only sci-fi books will be nominated for that month.

    3. Country of the month:12 countries to be chosen and each month we read a book from that particular country's literature. The works nominated would not be too obscure (only those are available in English on Amazon maybe?)

    4. Trend of the month: Each month we read a book from a different period such as Victorian, Romantic etc.

    5. Random nominations: The present system. We nominate the books we would like to read randomly.

    6. Prize Winners: We randomly nominate books that have received various literary awards (eg Pulitzer, Booker etc).

    I vote 'trend'. I think it's a really good idea.
    "...You are not wrong, who deem
    That my days have been a dream;
    Yet if hope has flown away
    In a night, or in a day,
    In a vision, or in none,
    Is it therefore the less gone?..." E. A. Poe

    I thought I give it a try and partake in the book club readings next year. And now, I ticked off the wrong option -- I meant to vote for "Trend of the month" and voted "Country of the month" instead

    It is scary thinking about 2011 already!

    Yes, but I wasn't referring to that. Just the fights we usually have over this.

    I can't decide this year. I don't recall we ever had a choice for Prize Winners. That might be an interesting change of pace.

    Are we thinking of 2011 already?

    I remember anticipating Space 1999 on TV in the seventies, and 1999 seeming to be several million years in the future.

    (By the way, what a disappointment that series was!)
