missed voting on the period, want to make sure I do not miss the nominations! So, to begin with I'm going to second The Rings of Saturn.
I'd like to nominate Vikram Seth's A suitable boy (first published in 1993) - the blurb from Goodreads: Quote:

Hotel Du Lac & A Suitable Boy are the only other two books in which I'm interested besides Neuromancer, but neither of them are available as ebooks; at least not here in the US.

Between agency pricing and recent elibrary offerings, I'm reading a lot more DTBs again, so it makes no nevermind to me. |

So Neuromancer is the only one that does not really appeal to me. Though if it wins I will give it a go. I have do not let ebook availability influence my choices for the MR Literary Club. Given the overall nature of literary fiction, and many of the categories that would just be too limiting.
I wish I had a few more nominations to spread around. |

I might be able to get the one copy of either one of them from the library, if they are still available when the time comes. Hotel Du Lac I can place on hold today, but A Suitable Boy would have to borrowed from another branch. |

I'd like to use my first nomination for The Wasp Factory by Iain Banks. One of his non sci-fi books (which I prefer), and one of the best books I have ever read, at least at the time.
