Hieronymous Alloy posted:In lieu of firm advance warning, I will say that my plan for next month's nominees is basically to repost the same poll from last month except with a book by Nadine Gordimer swapped out for Renault. If you're going to do that you may as well swap out the two books which received the lowest number of votes as well, since it seems unlikely they'd receive the four/five-times increase in support needed to win.

Hieronymous Alloy posted:Yeah. Any other suggestions for books before the next poll goes up? Despite this being a relatively slow month I'd like to try female authors again, so further nominations appreciated. Maybe Iris Murdoch? Isak Dinesen? It'd be a help to point out specific books too -- I haven't read any Gordimer for example so don't know which of her books to list. I was going to nominate The Riddle of the Sands, a 1903 spy novel about the Germans invading England by Erskine Childers (the father of one of the Presidents of Ireland). Otherwise The Sea, The Sea or The Philosopher's Pupil by Iris Murdoch look good.

Hieronymous Alloy posted:Riddle of the Sands is a great spy novel but yeah it's probably best for following month since male author -- maybe we can do spy novels in September? Sounds good to me, though I mostly nominated it because the WW1 centenary is coming up in a few days.
