Some months I don't vote because I'm not especially interested in any of the nominated books. But this month I can't vote yet because I can't decide. There are several I would really like to read, but frankly I wouldn't mind reading all of these books.

It's been a while since I've managed to get online and vote! Exciting! I'm also pretty keen on several of these. We are Electric is very timely for me, but looking forward to any of them. Maybe I'll try to re-nominate The Rainbow and the Worm: The Physics of Organisms for February, just because it's dense and elegant (haha - accidental worm reference!), and I'd LOVE to hear reflections from a wider audience on it!
