Well, the lovely Lee has kicked off the latest discussion for Group Read #5 (We Have Always Lived In the Castle). So, it must be time to start nominating books for the next group read..

This time the theme will be: "EXCLAMATION!"


You can nominate any books with titles that contain an exclamation, interjection, expletive, ejaculation (of the verbal kind), forceful statement, sound effect, expression of surprise etc etc.
Examples might be: wow! boom! bang! yeah! hello! oy! you there! no!

Basically, anything that could be exclaimed is fair game. The intention is to generate a great and varied list of books to select our next group read from.

Everyone gets up to TWO infinity book nominations each.
Simples!

Since these titles may be trickier than usual to come up with, there are no limits to the number of books you can nominate this time.

I'm going to start off by nominating two books:
Eeeee Eee Eeee: A Novel
and
Pow!

How about Crash and Bang Crunch

or Hey Nostradamus!

Nice! Also I'd like to add: Tiger! Tiger!. This has been on my shelf for a while now.

I think these are the last ones I can think of: Paddy Clarke Ha Ha Ha and Right Ho, Jeeves

Hark! A Vagrant

Nice!

Does Pop Co by Scarlett Thomas count?

Sure. Here's the link: PopCo.

I might have to come up with a couple more before we put the poll up. I did expect a few more suggestions!

It's a tricky one - if we could include Dr Seuss books, though, we'd have loads to choose from.

Would Absalom, Absalom! count?

Swamplandia!

My last two.

Oil! by Upton Sinclair (I think the movie There Will Be Blood was based on this)

Here's to you, Jesúsa! (It's on the Boxall 1001 list, so I will have to read it eventually)

Excellent! Thanks for the noms :)

I'll be closing the thread in about a day's time to put the poll up. So - last chance saloon...

Okay guys - the poll is up. Go vote!

See what I did there? With the exclamation mark?

On Bullshit has an ejaculation in its title...

We're looking close to another tied vote, so if you haven't voted yet.....go do it!

And the winner is.. Swamplandia!

I'll start a new thread for the group read details. Thanks for all those who participated.
