I would love to read The Great Believers by Rebecca Makkai, but I find it quite hard to drive engagement for the May-25 book so am happy to let other people picks take precedence if there are any other nominations.

The poll will go up tomorrow (unless I forget like I seem to be doing with everything else these days... ). ; )

Nominations are closed for the June Open Pick, but this would be a fine nomination for the next month!

Emmeline, would you be willing to lead the discussion?
Great choice! I'm not sure if I will reread but will surely participate in discussion. I recommend this to any who have not read it. Even if not to your taste, I think it is worth the effort.
A really good one, I read it last year and enjoyed it and agreed it’s shortlisting for the booker was well deserved!
Great! Yes, happy to lead the discussion. I'll try and get a head start on the book.
