Yes this really blows. Just when a monthly category I really wanted came up as well. I had hoped that last month's low participation might have been because it was August, but it would seem not. I hope some others will at least offer their thoughts. My opinion is that the real audience for a Literary Book Club is much smaller than what the initial enthusiastic participation would have indicated. Especially since the popular genres here of Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Mystery would not number many that fit the literary definition, with more recent titles even less so.

This is sort of a separate topic from the nomination participation question, but I have noticed that even among those interested in literary books too many will only participate in the reading and discussion only if his or her book wins the vote.

Oh well it was a nice idea.
