There's about 17 hours left for voting!

This is really an embarrassment of riches. I've sampled them all and there's so many good choices.

I've seen two of these- Equus and Still Alice. I've seen the film of Still Alice and I've seen Equus twice- the 70s film version and a live production in London with Daniel Radcliffe and his fellow Harry Potter co-star Richard Griffiths. I've never read either though. I've also seen the film of Revolutionary Road which is based on another book by Richard Yates, but haven't read any of his books.

It could be interesting to read a play as we haven't for the lit club in many years (the last was Arms and the Man from 2012), and it would be something to have a play selection the month after having a poetry selection since we haven't had either in so long... But I'd be just as happy with any of the other books too! A good many of these are already on my to-read list and the ones that aren't look quite interesting too.

Here's my initial votes:

-1 vote to The Death of the Gods. Julian the Apostate
-1 vote to Life of Galileo
-1 vote to Equus
-1 vote to Darkness at Noon
-1 vote to A Bend in the River
-1 vote to Prisoner
-1 vote to Reasons to Stay Alive
-1 vote to Monsieur Monde Vanishes
-1 vote to Picnic at Hanging Rock

That leaves me with two votes which I'm not sure yet if I'll use or not.
