Are we all supposed to read the same book or do we just choose one and start reading  ? I've never belonged to a book club before so I don't really know how it's supposed to work.

Alright, the poll finished an hour ago. We have the next reading project in sight! Between our many voters, favorites varied and the number one spot shifted between the top five entries quite a bit at first. Our silver contestant had the lead for quite a while but at the end...
the winner is The Call of Cthulhu by H. P. Lovecraft.

The suggestion is our shortest one of the bunch, a short story rather than a full-fledged novel. Most editions of the book vary from 24 to 44 pages depending on the font (or around 11,905 words). It is a great place to start out and get some discussion going. Thanks to its old age and classic status, too, The Call of Cthulhu should not be too much of a hassle to get a hold of anywhere. The book is also in the public domain and can be read effortlessly and legally online. Here is a link or two you can use if you don't mind reading from the screen:
https://repositorio.ufsc.br/bitstream/handle/123456789/163732/H.%20P.%20Lovecraft%20-%20The%20Call%20of%20Cthulhu.pdf?sequence=1&isAllowed=y (Browser pdf)
https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/68283 (Downloadable copies for e-books etc.)
https://www.hplovecraft.com/writings/texts/fiction/cc.aspx (Full text online)

Start of Discussion: Friday, 5th of May
Seeing as the reading this time is so short, I don't think we need to portion it into smaller segments this time (although in the future we might). This should be ample time for us to tackle this, I hope, and start a good weekend discussion. The time might even seem somewhat long but it takes into account the time it takes to acquire a physical copy of the story is one wishes to do so. On the 5th, then, I will make post a few starting questions and we'll see what we thought of this literary classic.

Here are the rest of the results for those of you interested:
Rather than having another suggestion round immediately after we finish with Cthulhu, I think we we'll have a quick second poll using the most popular of these same suggestions. Perhaps the next book will be one of the remaining top six?

I agree with using same top suggestions again. All of them seem interesting and perhaps some suggestions will repeat over the time. Whether it's going to be top 6 or top 10 or however you decide I don't mind it personally.
