I long suspected this, and it's very close to being confirmed

I too voted for The Master and Margarita. Read On the Beach many, many years ago and didn't enjoy it much then.

I've read On the Beach. Very good book and well worth reading.

Of Nevil Shute, over On the Beach, I prefer the foilleton A Town Like Alice, that has indeed a saga like catching story. The problem with Nevil Shute is that he often was "slightly" propagandist, although a with a happy hand as a writer. |

As far as On the Beach (which I did read a long time ago) my opinion is that it is dated and of pulp fiction quality. Beppe is right in that there is the decent movie version out there to get the same story in, and in just over two hours. |

I voted, but being a bit new around here I have kind of a weird question - how does the book club work?

It will be a ridiculously hard choice as to what to vote for this month.

I voted... for the underdog (Seven Japanese Tales). I didn't set out to vote for the underdog, it just so happened that way. All of the books this month are quite appealing to me, though!

I voted for A Question Of Upbringing but will be happy if either The Master And Margarita or Persuasion wins.
