I think you should be able to nominate any book as many times as a relevant category presents itself (if it's a real loser, it's your vote you're wasting), but a book that has won should not be eligible for consideration again for at least two (or more) years. |

Just to be clear; are we agreed that losing books can be re-nominated indefinitely? (The fact that Topper was the first book listed here so far to receive a 2nd and a 3rd shows that there is genuine interest in reading it.) Last edited by WT Sharpe; 03-20-2010 at 05:10 PM. |

Sounds fair to me. If a book lost last round, it may still be the #1 book of the rest, why exclude it? It makes sense not to have the same book win twice, but a book that didn't win should be fair game as often as it gets nominated. (If people no longer think it should be there, then they wouldn't nominate it again.)

So, the rules are:
1. put forward any book you like 2. unless it's won before 3. otherwise there are no rules, including this one |

then I ask to withdraw 3 men in a boat that I have proposed. I did not know it won last year. I did not know even that this wonderful forum existed.
Funny books, that are free for all because they are ancient, or that publisher sells at low price because they have little market value, that's not so easy. It takes a lot of reading new stuff. I see the very good point of this Book Club Nomination. Excellent! |

I would nominate The Pirate Zombie Robot Slaves of Io vs the Sulfurous Slime Hobos , but I haven't written it yet. That is likely against the rules.

Nomination: "Augustus Carp" by Henry Bashford
I'd like to nominate -
"Augustus Carp, Esq. - Being the Autobiography of a Really Good Man" by Henry Bashford From amazon.com: 'Bashford's comic 1924 volume offers the mock autobiography of Augustus Carp, a self-aggrandizing, stuffy, puritanical oaf, who indulges in numerous vices in the name of Christianity, rationalizing his own weaknesses while condemning others for the same acts. Great fun.' Patricia has made this book freely available here. Last edited by Sparrow; 03-21-2010 at 05:21 AM. |
