    Guys, everyone still has some time to catch up with the reading!!! I especially suggest looking at the novels that haven't been seconded. They might prove great, and it will be too late when we've discovered it!

    there's still time!

    If you do nominate Captain Blood, count my vote.
    I do hereby.

    Bears nominate Captain Blood: His Odissey by Sabatini.

    If The Road by Cormac McCarthy hasn't been nominated, I will nominated it. It's fantastic.

    I am assuming memoirs do not count, right?
