I've read a few of these already and generally I prefer not to reread, but I haven't got much forrader than that in making my decision.

That is one of the downsides to nominating more famous books/authors: more people are likely to have read them. There's only two in this month's list that I've read before. Then there's 1632 that I was planning on reading anyway, eventually, so I didn't vote for that. Several of the books are quite similar in general concept (finding new lives in the past*), so of those I picked two that stuck out as most appealing to me at the time they were nominated.
* I find it curious that the only book in the list that looks forward in time was written in 1895. |

Now most of us, I think, would have chosen to vote for a book that we already planned to read! Nothing like having it on the club list to push it to the top of the TBR.
I know one book I'm voting for, and three I am NOT voting for. Still need to sit down and think about the rest. |

I'm with you, I prefer not to reread. I've read five on this list, of which I'd probably only want to reread the Goddard. So I'll probably vote for some of the others, but I need to have a think...

For me, read v. reread is less important than whether I think a particular book will be a good discussion for the club, and a good read overall. So 1632 would be a re-read, but that's fine, I'll re-read it. Because I think it will be a good book to read and discuss as part of the club.
None of the others (except Jules Verne) would be re-reads. I think I've narrowed down what I want to read, but I'm going to let the names shake out in my mind before I take this any further. |

Well, I'm certainly not going to be upset if it wins , nor if the book I nominated (and have already read) wins. But my true preference is for something a bit more off the beaten track (for me), as that's a big part why I came here.
