And the winner is
Aspects of the Novel! Bookpossum will have the discussion thread up soon.
This seems to be the year so far for revisiting previous winning authors (and nothing bad about that!). In all the years previous we'd never happened to have one but this year we've had two in the first two months - Tóibín from The Master to Nora Webster and now Forster from A Passage to India all the way back in the fledgling months of the club to Aspects of the Novel here five years later. Looking forward to the read!

I was amused to learn recently that I was by no means alone in doing that.

Oh dear! You could've said that earlier than the finish line if you'd liked, although I understand your feeling on waiting. A long time ago in the club I remember posting early on about how much I disliked a nomination - Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead - and I still feel a little bad when I think about it. Only a little though, heh.
