Charlie is more fun to read than Peter.

GA Russell 08-24-2016 07:56 PM

I second Peter Pan.

I second The Phantom of the Opera.

CRussel 08-24-2016 08:14 PM

Come on, folks. Only two days left and so far we only have two books nominated. I admit, I'm hording my final ticket to see if there's a last minute new book, but if not, then either Clark or Leroux will get my last ticket.

Dazrin 08-24-2016 10:57 PM

I really doubt I will be able to read any selection this month so I have refrained from anything. If there are only two options fully nominated though I might come in tomorrow/Friday and finish off everything I can.

WT Sharpe 08-25-2016 06:55 PM

C'mon, folks! This is the slowest Classics month ever. It's not for shortage of possibilities. Pretty much everything that's stood the test of time since 3200 BCE is fair game, but just a few minutes over 30 hours to go!

seems I will have to read the 2001:space odyssey alone at some point.

Dazrin 08-26-2016 03:03 AM

I am hoping it at least gets a second. I would certainly give it a third if it does. I doubt I will be able to read whatever is the selection turns out to be anyway so I am going to give nominations only to books that need a third to make sure there are several options for the vote.

din155 08-26-2016 06:30 AM

I am hoping we get more participation.

In a last ditch effort I am calling out all the mobilereaders :shout:

Please do let us know what would you like to read this month. Even if you don't actually read it :thanks:

I'll nominate Captains Courageous by Kipling.

And I'll third Peter Pan. and Phantom of the Opera

I would willingly reread it but I have no votes left.

CRussel 08-26-2016 10:46 AM

I'll third 2001: A Space Odyssey. Though I wouldn't mind a re-read of Captains Courageous, either.

issybird 08-26-2016 11:08 AM

I'll nominate Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad.

I'm sorry; I can't do links now. :o

That's a second, unless I missed something.

EDIT: Actually, you already voted on that one.

It _is_ a second, you're correct, but I had not voted on it prior to this morning's post. I was holding off waiting to see what else came along.

That may be my fault - I edited the second post to add in my vote for Captains Courageous and CRussel's votes in post #41. I probably should have sent you a note, as well as updating the edit comment.
