If things continue the way they are, this will be the first month (this year) where there are books with no votes. I find that interesting.

I voted for Man Who Was Thursday. Maybe we can start an "alternative read" for it like we did for Riders of the Purple Sage a few months back.
I think given that I've got Slaugherhouse-Five and A Passage to India to read this month, I'm uncertain I'll get to it this month. However, if a discussion is still underway by the time I actually get to it, I'll be happy to contribute.

It ain't over until the gravitationally challenged lady sings, but I just purchased Slaughterhouse Five.

Skip A Passage To India. There are so many other better books out there to read (even the telephone book (white pages) is a lot more interesting to read).

I'm not sure I understand that... Slaughterhouse 5 is the far and away leader right now which you seem to say you are going to read this month already.

I mean that I might not get to reading The Man who was Thursday this month as well as the others I mentioned - although I would like to read it.

I'm definitely reading Slaughterhouse-Five and A Passage to India.
