Playground book club Do Not vote unless you are a member of this club

[Thufir]

I'll put in my vote for Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, not Adolus.

[Myshlaevsky]

Hey, is it a rule that you can't vote for your own suggestion? If not, I think that would be a good rule to institute.

[Belkarsbadside1]

Hahaha! I'm reduced to voting for Anthem, by Ayn Rand, on the grounds of never having read it before. Can I ask who suggested it?

I did. I started reading it years ago but never finished it

and no. We have more members than nominations. there is bound to be a winner even if all the people who suggested theirs vote for themselves

Fair enough, it's your club. Here's hoping Rand wins!

[Zain]

i will vote for small gods

also is there not a poll thingy for threads?

[Mythestopheles]

Voting for Small Gods, seems interesting.

If there is and If anyone can find it, that would be awesome

[Elfin]

I'll put a vote in for Anthem.

[Thufir]

Polls can only be created by mods, but if you ask one nicely they may be willing to make you one.

[HereticNox]

My vote goes to Anthem.

[Alarra]

I've added a poll to the thread, so if everyone wouldn't mind re-voting for what they've posted here, and those that haven't already could use that to vote instead.

Paradise Lost is a bit too religious, or would at the very least, be too likely to lead to religious discussion, and has not been included.

[Belkarsbadside1]

Attention everyone, Im sorry but I got the poll and i think we all have to resubmit our votes through that if you haven't. Everyone say thanks to our mod Alarra for the poll though.
That is all

Never mind Alarra just mentioned it.

[Nameless]

I'm kinda stuck between Brave New World, To Kill a Mocking Bird and Small Gods.
I might go for Small Gods simply because Terry is one of my favourite authors though.

[xPANCAKEx]

if an interesting book is on the go i'll chip in my views on it

[Faulty]

I have too much work to be in the book club so I'm obviously not voting, but I'd just like to warn people that I read Anthem and it's one of the worst books I've ever read.

I expected as such, but the point - at least for me - is that it's probably one of the worst books I've never read.

Touché, good sir.

[Quincunx]

Forward the dystopias!

. . .what, it's a chance to air views about books with someone other than authors, heck yes I'm in!

[Madmal]

i'd like to join, and in that case, i'll be votingfor small gods, though it could be a little tricky to discuss...

May I ask why?

V: Your in.

Utter Madness! A poll?!

Also, I've started reading Terry Pratchet's books, and am not sure were to go next, so I'll ask to join and vote for Small Gods.

[Elfin]

Could I change my vote to Brave New World? On closer examination it looks much more interesting than Anthem.

[Dragonus45]

Is it to late to join the book club?

[Warpfire]

May I ask why?

Well, it is a book about religion.

[Belkarsbadside1]

but isn't it about made up gods in a made up world?

Is it to late to join the book club?

Not at all

[Warpfire]

Yes, but this is Terry Pratchett we're talking about: there's pretty often a message about real life. I wouldn't say he's discussing any one actual religion, but he is saying things about the real world.

I suppose if you keep things at face value there shouldn't be a problem.

[Belkarsbadside1]

Ok, unfortunately im a bit ignorant of pratchetts books.

By the way, Are you even a member

[Warpfire]

No, I'm just passing through.

*mounts horse, rides off into the sunset*

[TelemontTanthul]

I've read most of these already, but I am interested.

[Ripped Shirt Kirk]

I would very much like to join! Also, may I recommend the Dresden Files?/
(P.S. Storm Front is the first book. (click on the book for description))
