Persuade me!
I have one vote left.
What to do? The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain has not been seconded. It's a great book, and perhaps Mr. Clemens' perspective on matters concerning race would be a great counter-balance to Margaret Mitchell's, who authored our February selection.
Three are three books that interest me that have been nominated and seconded. They are:
* My man Jeeves by P. G. Wodehouse
Read it last year and thoroughly enjoyed it. Bertie and Jeeves are always fun to read, and the stories starring Reggie Pepper (a forerunner of Bertie Wooster) are a hoot.
* Candide by Voltaire
I've read this one more than once. The ideas put forth by Voltaire should spark a lively debate. In the best of all possible worlds, Voltaire is surely required reading!
* The Eyre Affair by Jasper Fforde
This one I haven't read, but the premise sounds hilarious; especially since no one seems to want to give a third to my nomination of And Another Thing. The Amazon reviews seem to be saying that Jasper Fforde is to literature as Douglas Adams is to science.
Hmmm. Four very interesting choices, only one vote, and the nominations are closing very soon. Does anyone want to buy my vote? I'm not cheap, but I can be bought.
