Black Like MeHave not read but have heard a lot of good about it and would like to read therefore I'm not the person to lead the discussion.
Gisela wrote: "How about Siddharta. Can lead."Great nomination! I've been meaning to read this for years!
Are we still open to nominations? In case we are, I would like to nominate Alone in Berlin by Hans Fallada, would love to read this book with the group, won't be able to lead though.
I'll accept it. Nominations were meant to end 15th but my flight home got delayed and I was so tired when I got in I didn't get round to posting.Nominations now closed. Poll will go up later today.
