It's still a widely praised and awarded book and not that expensive in the context of recent non-fiction ebooks, but I know that people have varying tolerances, especially if a book is not their usual thing. Shame that Kobo no longer sells it. |

The Kindle price of $13.68 is too much for me to think I'd ever read Sh*t My Dad Says.

I don't live in the US and I can't read epub. It's illegal in my country to strip DRM, even to move among devices now.

For purposes of the Book Club, I don't judge. It's your nomination.

I was quickly checking any recent nominations in the first two list posts and I saw

I thought it was decided that nominations are each individual forumers responsibility and the nomination process (seconded and then passed) as well as the vote should eliminate any dubious suggestions.
I could nominate The Bible for the humour month, but I doubt that would go over well. It's also a romance, potentially non-fiction, potentially science fiction, maybe fantasy, a bit of horror, thriller and most definitely fits the open and classics months. |

Jon, I didn't think your other nomination fit but I allowed it. As HIMS suggested, let the voting booth decide what is or isn't suitable for non-fiction. Saves a lot of needless debate.
