I have read half of these but they all look interesting.

When you choose a book in the poll, think about how interesting it would be to read, but also look into how available the book is. Does your library have the book? Is it only available for purchase, and if so, what is the price?


message 3: by Gustavo (new)

Gustavo “Superior” looks interesting.


Susanna - Censored by GoodReads Good advice, David - in the current situation I'm only voting for things I have or know are in my local library's ebook section.

Sofie No doubt, Quantum Man: Richard Feynman's Life in Science is my choice


message 6: by Jim (new)

Jim I'm changing my vote from Third Chimpanzee, The: On the Evolution and Future of the Human Animal. I'm most of the way through it & shocked at how poor it is. It's also almost 30 years old. Instead, I'm going to vote for A Brief History of Everyone Who Ever Lived: The Stories in Our Genes.

Agreed. I buy quite a few used paperbacks, but only when I can get them for $6 or less incl. shipping. You can get a surprising number this cheaply if you shop the websites.
