Would The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym work as a book-club pick? I like having something we can disagree about afterwards.

Oisin, that is a good way of choosing. I tend to match the pick to the evening as well.

The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym is one I am weighing up. This would be a good change of pace from the things currently at the top of my list.

Caoimhe, fair point. There is room for something a bit different in the next six.

For anyone considering The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym: A little more variety in the shortlist is always welcome. Glad this is in the pool.
