I like your proposal heretofore but I disagree with all closed open voting. I propose that at least phase 1 and the added run-on faze 4 of your proposal be opening close voting instead. I propose to call my proposal "Stormy Lolita's Proposed Passage to the Indian Front".

I propose that James Joyce's Ulysses be the only book ever discussed within all book clubs. It has something for everyone. This proposal is called the sumtingforevyonevelvetpaperclubt

I've tried reading Ulysses, but I just can't get into the proper frame of mind for it. Forty years ago, I knew where to buy acid.

So here I am years later, and since I made a 2012 TBR list, I couldn't resist putting Ulysses on there and finally taking another crack at it. PS - Acid, huh? Explains a lot! (Just kidding! ) |

I think Ulysses is quite readable and rewards the effort. Finnegan's Wake, on the other hand....
How would this be for a plan for 2012? Follow up The Iliad with The Odyssey and The Aeneid, and then wrap things up with Ulysses? Do one book every three months, so it's not too onerous. This is about 95% tongue in cheek, but if there was a groundswell in favor, I'd be on board. |

My avatar feels positively ancient compared to all these new-fangled ones popping up in the other most recent posts in this thread!

Anyway, you can take all that to say, of course I'm for it for 2012 if others are. And if they're not, well I'll be (hopefully) reading two of the four this year regardless. |
