Substitute
Confederacy of Dunces for “the one with the obscene title” and my thoughts exactly. I actually cast my vote for
Idle Thoughts Of An Idle Fellow as I have never read it and I've not seen a film version many, many times.

Can't we just do away with it and say it was tried but it was a failure so it's being stopped?

Why a failure? Less than 25% of the vote went to
Princess Bride in the first round. Looking at what happened in February when
Outlander out polled
Tender Is the Night in the first round, but
Tender Is the Night received more votes in the runoff I would call the system a success. Or did you really have your heart set on reading
Outlander and that is why you want to call it a failure?
