Literary Open Nominations & Vote • July 2016 - Page 2

fantasyfan · 07-05-2016, 04:33 PM

I'll begin with

2 votes for The Man Who Was Thursday
2 votes for The Tombs of Atuam
2 votes for A Connecticut Yankee In King Arthur's Court.

That leaves me three votes to think about.

Connecticut Yankee: 2
Scarlet Plague: 2
Childhood's End: 2
The Man Who Was Thursday: 2

Edited to fix my vote.

You can only have a total of two votes per book, jselby, so that will be two for Childhood's End and leave you with one vote for another book if you want to use it.

Yeah... I forgot about that last night when I cast my vote. I've edited my post to correct it.

This was very tough, but with my last three votes I'll give:

1 to Jack London
1 to Ursula Le Guin
1 to Jorge Luis Borges

sun surfer · 07-07-2016, 07:53 AM

I'll give one more vote to Le Grand Meaulnes.

And I'll give my last vote to The Charioteer.

sun surfer · 07-08-2016, 03:02 PM

Voting is complete and the winner is A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court. I'll have the discussion thread up within a day or so.

I read this when I was a child and only remember a few bits that I found funny then. I'm hoping I get a lot more out of it now. I do love Mark Twain, and I hope everyone else enjoys the book too.

I began this one earlier today with the Flo Gibson audiobook. I only read my first Twain last year with Tom Sawyer.

Huckleberry Finn is a masterpiece (though with a flawed ending) as is The Mysterious Stranger. I haven't read this one yet and look forward to it.
