1961-1980 Vote • May 2015
Help choose the May 2015 selection to read for the MR Literary Club! The poll will be open for three days and a discussion thread will begin shortly after a winner is chosen.
The vote is multiple choice. You may vote for as many or as few as you like. If you vote for the winner it is hoped that you will read the selection with the club and/or join in the discussion.

If the run-off also ends in a tie, then the tie will be resolved in favour of the selection that received all of its initial nominations first. Select from the following works: Ragtime by E.L. Doctorow, 1975 Spoiler:
Invisible Cities by Italo Calvino, 1972 Spoiler:

Sorry, at the moment anyway I think I must pull out of this month's choice, so I won't vote.
Our lovely dog Emma died this morning, probably of a stroke. Yesterday morning she was running on the beach having a wonderful time and this morning we had to have her euthanised because she would have been brain damaged even if they could keep her alive. We are devastated as you can imagine and I think I just need to withdraw for a little while. I should be back next month. |

I'm so sorry to hear that, Bookposum.
The death of a beloved pet can be very upsetting. Something similar happened to one of our pets so we have an idea of how you must feel. |

Bookpossum, I'm so sorry to hear that about your beloved Emma, and fantasyfan I'm sorry to hear about your pet too. Losing a pet can be very hard. I lost a dog only last month - not the one in my GR avatar but the one I jokingly call that dog's "sister from another mister", Boo. I'd known Boo off and on her entire life and though she technically wasn't mine, she came to live with me for the last many years of her life and she was a great dog. She died very suddenly and unexpectedly; she breathed her last as I was rushing her to the overnight emergency vet. They think it was cardiac arrest or stroke. I hated to see her suffer like that. She was old but I'd thought she might have many years more left in her.
