I’m posting one hour earlier because I’m hanging out early this Saturday.
There were too many tied books with 6 upmarseys, so I ended up peaking just 4 instead of 5.
The nominees are
Kazuo Ishiguro John Williams Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Miguel de Cervantes SaavedraVoting closes by 19:00 E.T. Tomorrow, by them the most voted one will be the next bookclub selection. Discussion threads on the new book will begin in a TBD date in august as many haven’t finished Master and Margarita yet.

Can we use approval voting

What’s that?

Voters vote "yes" or "no" on each option. The option with the most yes's wins. It's good for elections with many candidates because it selects the candidate with the widest approval instead of the candidate with a small core of devotees.
Compare to, say, Latin American Presidential elections.

We could have a second round with rhe two most upmarseyd ones, that’s the LATAM way.

That being said, I think you shouldn't remake this election. Just something to consider for next time.

You mean Faust part 1? Or both parts combined?
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
Ideally both, but we could start with Part I, and then vote again before continuing Part II

Faust part 2 is completely opaque without deep literary analysis and dissection of the wordplay, doubly so in translation. the book club format works a lot better with prose than poetry

Interesting, maybe we should just go with Part I and then vote for another selection,

Yeah just doing part 1 would be more productive. If it’s too short you could maybe read a play or short story as well

Faust is a hard read btw and he translation matters a lot. So just keep that in mind.

Would Don Quixote be both parts? Been a long time since I read it, but I enjoyed the second more than the first.
