Oh, but hope springs eternal, issybird, certainly? Or was that
internal?

The reality is that Wind-Up Bird is published as a single volume and it is a book. Those who have nominated and voted for it are fully entitled. I, for one, am looking forward to seeing them all engage in a rousing discussion, because isn't that the point of a book club? Surely it's not just a popularity contest?

I would hope so. I nominate and motivate for books that I think others will find worth their reading time, and find worthy of a discussion. Or simply because they're favourites of mine that I want to share with my 'friends' here. But in all cases, I hope and expect to participate in the discussion that follows from my votes and nominations.
In the case of
Wind-Up Bird, I admit to thirding it without checking the price. That was a mistake, since I can't get it from my local library in a format I will read. (Sorry, DTB is not a choice for me any more. )
