Literary The MobileRead Literary Book Club August 2011 Vote - Page 2

So far, A Passage To India has three confirmation votes.

beppe, I have thought of one other possibility concerning you mentioning two different works. I suppose, if you have more than one choice that you like equally, we could put it to a poll if you want. However, each option would still need confirmation first (though I suppose each person can confirm multiple options) before time is up. Then, I could put them to a short poll.

The choice is yours, but I advise you to decide what you want to do quickly and make your decision clear to prevent things from becoming too confusing for other members.

I'm not sure exactly what you're asking. There are three days in which to choose your work and have it confirmed. I would suggest against putting a few choices up to public opinion for a few reasons:

-Those who speak up may not represent the opinions of the many who don't speak up

-There is not so much time to make a choice and have it confirmed (I chose a shorter time period of only three days to keep any debate over a choice being confirmed to a minimum...are you asking for more time?)

-The choice should really be yours

However, that's only my suggestion and you're free to do as you like as long as you get confirmation in time. If I didn't understand your question correctly, then please clarify for me.

The choice is mine, for sure. I just wanted to see if some wanted to suggest something else. It wa a joke, most of all. A barker's joke. To get some comments.

So it is

A Passage To India

and that what it is.

There is no need for you to put up a poll and therefore to consider only options ten-fold confirmed. Being your poll you run it the way you see fit. I could put up a poll myself, if I wanted. That is not the case.

I wouldn't let that put you off though. I would also put A Passage to India
in the category literary fiction.

Touché!

I'll confirm it, but I'll probably skip reading it.

JSWolf · 07-26-2011, 11:33 AM

There is no way I'm rereading A Passage to India. It was bad enough the first time.

Like Catcher in the Rye and Life of Pi.

BTW. Did you stuff your big if ?

sun surfer · 07-26-2011, 01:47 PM

We're up to eight confirms, need two more and we're set.

Ea · 07-26-2011, 03:33 PM

Another confirmation - this is literary fiction.

Fiction yes, literary no.

It has been quite a while since I've read it. I did enjoy it and I wouldn't mind reading it again. And yes, A Passage to India is a very good example of literature. So does that make the confirmation total ten?
