In last week’s yummy literature poll, you, the BookSwimmers, voted 44% for the win that you would most enjoy eating Bertie Bott’s Every Flavor Beans, of Harry Potter fame (a narrow defeat of Green Eggs and Ham, which rallied support from only 39% of you). Now, we here at BookSwim have actually eaten these things, since some marketing genius at Jelly Belly decided it’d be a good idea to make earwax-flavored jelly beans. In fact, you can hear Chip and Eric discuss this experience - and other flavors - in this week’s podcast.
And so we find ourselves facing yet another Tuesday squarely in the eye, with yet another tough decision placed before us in the form of this week’s Silly Survey.
With much talk about our exiting president shopping his memoir and having just turned the corner from a year when the incoming president ruled the nonfiction charts, The Literary Life would like to turn back the pages, so to speak, to seemingly simpler times - or, as we learn more with every new biography to emerge from the fray, erstwhile but equally complex times - to ask you this week’s question.
My favorite aspect of this poll is that it will close upon the swearing into office of the 44th President of the United States of America. Oh, and don’t forget to nominate your pick for January’s Top Ten (nominations end on Friday morning).
