Bookclub Nominations Thread

!bookworms, as you know we are supposed to have our final discussion of Master and Margarita on Sunday, so it’s time to select our next book.

Nominate your choices or upmarsey the one’s you find interesting. Tomorrow at 19:00 E.T. I’ll pick the five most upmarseyd ones and place them on a voting thread.

I understand many will not finish Master and Margarita by this Sunday, so I’ll wait a couple of weeks before beginning with the next book threads, and reduce the number of weekly pages from 100 to 70.

I nominate Kazuo Ishiguro’s “Never let me go”

I’ve been wanting to read Ishiguro for a while. I also wanted to start Ulysses, but I find it too long for a bookclub choice

Never Let Me Go is a 2005 novel by Kazuo Ishiguro set in an alternative dystopian version of Great Britain in the 1990s in which cloning technology allows for the mass proliferation of organ donation. Medical problems like cancer are cured because organs are harvested from clones through a state-sanctioned program. The cloned “donors” have their organs taken one at a time until they die.
