>results and rollover period
Why? Just let the voting last until we finish the current book, giving everyone time enough to vote, and then we'll just continue with the book that's been selected. I agree on the rest thou
I give it 24 hours before this whimsical idea dies a cursed death.
It's so that people have time to find the book and start reading ahead before discussion of the previous book is finished.
The dates are also clearly stated so there's no excuse for not popping by on the 1st for 10 seconds and voting.
Alright, but I still think we should give it more than one day of voting period. How about 3 days for voting and then 3 days rollover period? That's enough to find the book and start reading.
sauce?
gimme those dolls
I have two versions of the thebian plays. The Fagels translation, which I find a lot easier to read and understand. And another that was edited by David Greene and Richard Lattimore and features translations by Elizabeth Wyckoff, David Greene, and Robert Fitzgerald.
Is there a particular edition we'll be reading?
No there's no particular version. All the plays should have the same line numbering so if you need to reference something, reference by the line number.
