3. King Leopold's Ghost
it's good to get out of politics for a little while. Plus, the subject matter is something we should all know about.

5. I nominate The Assassins Gate
I bought George Packer's book a month ago and I still haven't read it. Having it chosen as the March selection would definitely spur me to read it. :-)

But it is a timely book.
