NOMINATIONS ARE OPEN

Submit your nominations now, my friends, for the book we're going to discuss the third Saturday in May. May is, as you'll recall, the wide-open, wild card, genre-free selection---if it's got pages and is between two covers, then it's available for nomination.

Please nominate no more than two (2) books. Nominations will stay open until Wednesday night, then we'll vote on the nominations for the next book selection. If there's a tie---and only if there's a tie; even a one-vote margin is a legitimate victory---we'll break the tie by secret-ballot vote at the meeting.

By the way, I'm going to be out of the country when the group meets in May, so let's consider where the meeting can be held in my absence. I hope we can have a play in place by the meeting this Saturday.
