We got a few more nominations so here's the poll for the September book. I'll leave it open until Monday night and post a runoff or announce the winner. Happy voting!

Poll September 2011 book selection poll

We've only had one nomination for a September book so far. If I don't get another one by tomorrow evening, I'm afraid the community may lapse back into inactivity. Please make a nomination if you have an interest in continuing the community. The nominations post is here. Thanks!

It's time for nominations for a September book. Please check out "The Library" and then comment in this post with one nomination for a September book. I will leave the nominations open until Saturday evening, at which point I'll post a poll. As per the rules and policies, books by Dostoyevsky are not eligible ( Read more... )

I closed the poll, but when I went to post the announcement, LJ was refusing to load. Sorry! Anyway, there were only three votes to extend the book through August, but there were no votes not to. So, we'll keep plowing through! I'll open up nominations for a September book toward the end of August. Happy reading!

Do we need another month? If not, I'll need to open nominations pretty quickly. I'll leave this poll open until Sunday night or Monday morning.

Poll July 2011 extension poll

I'm on disc 6/16 from the library. I doubt I'll finish by the end of the month (book club meetings today and Wednesday). I haven't seen any other posts about the book either, so I'll post a poll about extending the book through August.

Also, we have read many books over the years, and there's ( Read more... )

The winner (by a hair!) is Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoyevsky. The text is available through Project Gutenberg and the audio is available at LibriVox.org. I'll check in toward the end of the month and see if we want to extend for a second month, since it's a lengthy novel.

Happy reading!

I'm excited about the great participation level! We've had nearly twice as many votes as the last two polls. The runoff will remain open until Thursday evening, and then I'll announce the winner.

Due to overwhelming response, about which I am very excited, I'm going to go ahead and post a poll now. I'll leave it open until Tuesday evening and post a runoff if necessary. A huge WELCOME to the new members and thanks for everyone's participation! Maybe this community just needed a two-month break...
