The Bowie Book Club discussion

The first reading of our group is set to start on March 1st. Please, use this time to promote our group, so we have a good number of members to participate in our first discussion.

I already set the first poll based on 10 books that were mentioned by Bowie in his top 100 must-read books. I chose 10 of the most accessible books to make sure that most of you get your hands on the material in time. The poll will close on February 10th.

Great! :D

Good! :P

Our pool is going strong. In case we have a tie in the end of the voting deadline, a new poll will be open only with those titles that were on the top with the same number of votes. The poll will be open as soon as the other closes and it will remain open for 48 hours.

In order to start our first reading in February instead of March, some changes were made:

- Deadline for voting on the February poll: January 20th (if you haven't voted yet, please do. It had been a tight race).

- Deadline for voting on a secondary poll: in case of a tie between two or more titles in first place, a secondary poll will stay open from January 21st to the 23rd.

After the February book is chosen, I'll open a thread for the nominations for March readings.

Thank you, Cynthia...

So it looks like we are reading 1984. When I first read it, I almost gave up 20 pages before the end. It was just too much. No wonder I don't like "Big Brother". This should be interesting.

nice!

So far, 1984 is the leader of our poll. I read it for the first time when I was about 13 years old. I remember I struggled the whole time. The only reason why I didn't give up was The Diamond Dogs.

I hope it was a case of a not-age appropriate reading, because I've been meaning to reread it for a long time.

I read it in high school, but I also hope it was "a case of a not-age appropriate reading".

Apparently 1984 is THE ONE! For those who haven't voted yet there's still time to do it!

Guys, this group is amazing! I wish I could participate more, I promise I will share the reading experiences and collaborate as much as I can. Still trying to put some ideas together in the first chapter of my thesis.

Cheers! :)

A Clockwork Orange is one vote behind... And many members haven't voted yet. Maybe there will be a surprise hahahaha

1984 it is... Hope most of you can join our discussion...
