That's why I looked to see if All You Need is Kill was available via Hoopla and it available as an audiobook. So for all of you who can access Hoopla. please third this and then vote for it. Everyone else can do the same thing too so it wins. It's a very good book.

The Radium Girls is a good book for sure. I'd read it again. (I'm not going to fourth it) |

Oh, wait. DUH! Doomed to Repeat It. Impressive. I'd NEVER have thought of this book for this month, but you're right, it fits. |

I'd never heard of it either, but now I plan to read it. It's the other highly cogent reason for the nomination process: discovery. The best of both worlds is to settle on a good book for discussion, but also to find a book or two that I'd not known, but is exactly my thing.

I think it's mostly just trying to find out where you can be in step. I think of it as a Venn diagram - even if most of my bubble is largely unshared (and it is!), there's always some overlap, even if you have to look hard. And then there's the expanding horizons aspect, but I admit that while I have no problem with expanding my horizons, I also have no interest in falling off the edge. Some things will never appeal.
