The point of this book club is to enjoy reading together and pool our resources and questions so that we can more easily enjoy the book. That said, if you have to start late or you are reading this after the club has finished, you are still welcome to read and post with us. And if you’ve already read Mushishi, but want to help, discuss…
There’s also a bit less than a month until the next vote. As simias’s proposition was highly upvoted and no riot was formed to protest (unlike that time where I wanted the poll results to be hidden while we vote xD), we will apply their suggestion for the next poll. We can always reevaluate later
As a reminder:
simias:
I propose that in case of ties we just use the nomination date as tie breaker and pick the one that was nominated first. The rationale is that there is often a recency bias in votes that favors newer entries, so in case of ties the older nomination is effectively a stronger result. And this way we don’t have to bother with tie-breaker votes that could also result in draws.
On top of that if we settle on a systematic tie breaker ahead of time there won’t be an incentive to engineer ties for the sake of having several winners, and in fact there will be a motive to break ties if your favourite is tied with an older nomination you like less.
