FMK #27: Judge A Book By Its Title
Last week's winners were not what I expected! But F goes to The Red Tent and K goes to The Magicians (which is WAY more hated than I had realized! For good reason apparently.)
How FMK works, short version: I am trying to clear out my unreads. So there is a poll, in which you get to pick F, M, or K. F means I should spend a night of wild passion with the book ASAP, and then decide whether to keep it or not. M means I should continue to commit to a long-term relationship of sharing my bedroom with it. K means it should go away immediately. Anyone can vote, you don't have to actually know anything about the books.
I pick a winner on Friday night (although won't actually close the poll, people can still vote,) and report results/ post the new poll on the following Tuesday, and write a response to the F winner sometime in the next week.
Link to long version of explanation (on first poll)
This week's theme: I have no idea what this book is about, I'm pretty sure I only have it for the title.

no subject
(sometimes one failed out of Jeeves & Wooster in about chapter 2 due to embarrassment squick and got rid of all of one's Wodehouse except the one with one's name in the title that was a gift from a relative.)
I did manage to enjoy, um, it must have been Enter Psmith, and a lot of Jeeves & Wooster pastiche, so I have a idea of what a Wodehouse novel probably involves, but I know nothing about the specifics of that one or whether it's one of his that will actually work for me, I literally only own it for the title.
(The one that probably is a cheat is Breakfast at Tiffany's, which I only own because of the song, but I am aware that the song is named after the movie named after the book and not the reverse.)
