My vote for:On the Trail of Genghis Khan: An Epic Journey Through the Land of the Nomads by Tim Cope.
The last two years I traveled twice through Central Asia, so this is a 'must' for me. |

I only voted for one book: The Right Stuff by Tom Wolfe. When all of that was going on, I was a kid keeping a Space scrapbook that included information on the planets and news clippings of rocket launches.

It's a terrific book, but I've read it and I'm hoping for a choice I haven't read, as I'd already read the selections for the first two months this year.

I did something similar during that time. I think I'll bump it to the top of my pile.

I voted for Journey to the Center of the Earth because I want to read the correct and complete translation that Harry mentioned a couple of years ago.

South, by Ernest Shackleton. I read this 14 years ago, before we went to Antarctica, and it is the most amazing book and story. This would be a good push to get me to read it again, especially since it's in the Library here.
Second choice would be Allan Quatermain by H. Rider Haggard. I've always wanted to read it, and somehow never got around to it. |

For the audiobibliophiles, On the Trail of Genghis Khan is available in Whispersync for Voice for only $3.99. Overdrive has the ebook, so if you borrow it for Kindle you can get the Whispersync price on the audio book.
