Yes, that was hard. My new strategy is to vote for half of the books; so I voted for a
Free State, being from a country that used to have colonies, myself (he,he, who in Europe isn't.....) so I am intrigued by the African stories of Naipaul, where in the nomination is quoted " No writer has rendered our boundariless, post-colonial world more acutely"
And I voted
After the Quake which I nominated myself
My last vote was for Foster
The Celestial Omnibus who, as in the nomination was written, "The humanist has four leading characteristics: curiosity, a free mind, belief in good taste, and belief in the human race,” Forster said."
hmmm, I would rather see myself as a humanist, I think
Having voted: I would read all books, but there's no use in voting for all, I thought; I bought
the Oil jar and
the Celestial omnibus (well, €1,89 and €0,99 I think).
