Books2Movies Club discussion

After missing the whole month of nominations (my fault entirely), now you have a chance to nominate new contenders for a book of the month in the non-fiction section of our bookshelf.

As usual, if you lack inspiration, you can take a look at our thread Books Nominated So Far. It would be nice to hear some new ideas though. (not saying I wouldn't like the old ones too!)

I would like to add two new stories to our to-read pile: Alive: The Story of the Andes Survivors and A Walk in the Woods: Rediscovering America on the Appalachian Trail.

I just saw an interview for Papillon. I am shocked they really did a remake of such a classic as Papillon from 1973 is, but then they remade Ben-Hur, not only once but gazillion times. This bit would be an appropriate post somewhere else if both movies aren't actually based on a real non-fiction book, Papillon. It would be an interesting addition to this poll, don't you think?

I think we have enough books to choose from, here comes the poll:
