Congratulations to beppe as our first-ever lottery winner, who has been randomly selected from the nominees to choose this month's work.

First, beppe will need to select a work and post it. Then, the work will need TEN confirmation votes to declare it our monthly selection.

beppe may choose any work that beppe considers literature. Anyone else may vote to confirm that the selected work is considered or seems to be literature, whether or not one finds it appealing.

This process will be open for THREE days.

If the winner doesn't post a selection, or if the selection does not receive enough confirmation votes, then we will revert to a second-chance month. The five non-winning selections with the most votes from previous months will be put to a short vote.

What is literature for the purposes of this book club? A well-regarded work. Often (but not always) it is important, challenging, critically acclaimed, has a deeper meaning, makes one think. It may be from ancient times to today; it may be from anywhere in the world; it may be obscure or famous, short or long; it may be a story, a novel, a play, a poem, an essay or another written form.

beppe, the floor is yours!
