Our library has several books by Paul Auster in large print but not this one. So if he wins, I'll probably read a different book by him alongside the group read.
Haha That was quick Shirley! Once I'd realised we can still see the votes down the right hand side, and all you have to do is tot them up, I deleted the query almost as soon as I'd posted it.
Gill - I can recommend Oracle Night, which I read in Large Print. And I've also seen it complete on audio in a charity shop, so maybe some of his others are in that format too.
Thanks, Jean. Our library seems to have a few of them in large print, so I'll follow those up in June probably.

I like it!
Just to say, it's quite a close-run thing at the moment!
I shouldn't have said anything should I, Shirley - now you've hidden who has voted as well! LOL! It certainly adds a different flavour to the poll ;)

Ha ha, that's what I meant to do in the first place - serves you right for being nosey LOL!!
LOL! I do only ever look after I've voted actually, but you're right, it's sheer nosiness!
Oh, Jean! And I was enjoying looking at the list of names on the right, and finding out which books people had voted for!
I know :( I like that aspect too, Gill. It's like having a quick little discussion - but without the discussion. I'm so sorry. :/Boo Shirley! :D
Well I can tell you there's only 3 votes between the top four at the moment!
I like seeing the results in order to change my vote at the last minute if the book I'd like to read winds up at the bottom and obviously won't win. It was hard deciding on a book this month.
I will already be reading Kindred in June for another reading challenge. I would love to talk about it here!

That's fair comment, Petra, I just thought we'd have a change this month. Last time we did this, some people quite liked it. But I know what you mean, I do the same if my book doesn't look like it's going to win.

I've just finished the 1Q84 books by Haruki Murakami and thought they were fantastic! Wouldn't mind reading Kafka on the shore next to see if he is consistently good :)

That is an interesting spectrum. Thank you Shirley. It is always nice to learn about others' tastes too; it feeds into future productive discussions.
No, just thought it would be a bit of a change this time...
