Nominate a Book of the Month for March

[Scott]

The February book of the month is Shadow of the Cross by Carolyn Garriott. This thread is for nomination for the March book of the month.

Please, only one nomination per person.

Try to think not of a book that you particularly would like, but rather a book that would be good to read as a group.

I'll take nominations throughout the rest of January. I'll post a thread to vote on the nominations on February 1st.

Thanks,
Scott

Update: Nominations for March are now closed. You can vote for the March book of the month in the this thread.

It's like looking into a mirror and truly seeing yourself and all you are made of and all earthly things pertaining to you. It's like reviewing and understanding the fallen state you are in due to the debacle of the first man, Adam.

Are you commenting on my signature? If so, that would be better put in the off-topic section.

About the link in your second post, which I removed, are you trying to nominate the book AMERICA, AND RELIGION by Geraldine Lewis?

Thanks,
Scott

I think I'll nominate something contemporary and a little lighter just for a change. What about Wicked by Gregory Maguire?

This is one of those, "from the heart books". The author tells it like it is in her own words, but with love and grace. I took this book on vacation and couldn't put it down. Now it stays on my coffee table so I can refer to it often. In this day of secularism and political correctness, this book is a breath of fresh air. It leaves you wanting more.

AMERICA, AND RELIGION by Geraldine Lewis

How about Ubik, by Philip K. Dick.

Started reading, got totally lost, and stopped,so would be good to have some more people along for the ride to put me straight!

Yes Scott, I was attempting to nominate the book, America and Religion by Geraldine Lewis.

Thanks!

I've read wicked,
not one of my favorites, but a good book.
It would be a good discussion book.

I just joined, so stop me if you have all read this one: Good Omens-The nice and accurate prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman. Gaiman is really imaginative and this one looks pretty funny.

Just a thought.

Oh yeah, I've read Wicked too. I agree with Cassie--not my fav, but would be interesting to discuss.

Ive read Wicked as well...I didn't much like it, and I wanted to sooo much cos I love the Wizard of Oz and a dark strange perspective sounded perfect. But no magic (oh the irony).



The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield - I did it in another book club and it stimulated a lot of discussion, and a lot of questions! the writing style snatches some points from Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights, which are both referenced throughout the book.

It's a book about books, I cant rave enough!

I would nominate A Feast for Crosw by George R.R. Martin as book of the month for march.
