Each month various book titles are nominated by DU members. After the nominations everyone votes. The monthly winner is read by those that want to participate, and a thread is designated for discussion by those that are reading or have finished the book.

Anyway, I didn't know it was even here until a couple of months ago and I have been around since after the selection 2000. It would be awesome if more people participated.

2. Fix your link. You are linking to the "latest" page.
I'm looking for it, but you can probably find it faster.

Thanks for this information.

Thank you.

I read a lot of books, but I never seem to be reading what other people are reading.
