I'd recommend Looking for Alaska by John Green. I really want to read it.

I vote Cloud Atlas too, just saw the movie previous the other day. I am a read the book before seeing the movie person.

Here's my review: http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

the february BOTM are two:
Life of Pi and Thirteen Reasons Why.

That is one on my to be read list looks good, so would vote for this too.
This falls a little more into the self helpy/spiritual region but I would like to read May Cause Miracles: A 40-Day Guidebook of Subtle Shifts for Radical Change and Unlimited Happiness.
Annnnd as I write this I realize it probably won't work for a monthly book as it is 40 days. Whoops.

Girl With a Pearl Earring is really good.





I loved Gone Girl. I couldn't stop reading. I have one of her other books on my kindle to read soon.

Check "The Great Conspiracy, The Black gods of Afrika" on http://www.amazon.com/dp/1468181297, http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/1468181297, http://www.amazon.de/dp/1468181297, http://www.amazon.it/dp/1468181297, http://www.amazon.fr/dp/1468181297, http://www.amazon.es/dp/1468181297 or https://www.createspace.com/3765791
WHAT IS THE GREAT CONSPIRACY?
The Great Conspiracy is a short letter to the Afrikan child in a parabolic tone. It is a poetic riddle and in sum proverb. Is there remedy to the Afrikan problem? Can the Afrikan equation be solved? For a half a century since flag independence knocked on the Afrikan hut, the Afrikan political elite and comrade in cola have not been watching the Afrikan grass grow; instead as leaders upon whose shoulders, salvation of the Afrikan child from colonial pharaoh's slavery; read colonial culture, traditions, instrument of thought and in sum colonial gods duly lay as Moses and his blood brother Aaron were to Israelis while leading them from the yoke of bondage down Biblical Egypt to the promised land; have been to busy staying alive. How can we watch the Afrikan grass grow using a foreign eye? "Lest there be any fornicator or profane person amongst us Afrikan brothers who for one morsel of food sold his inheritance. For we all know Afrikan comrades that Esau did and afterwards, when he wanted to inherit the blessings later, he was rejected, for he found no place for repentance, though he sought it diligently with tears" It is a social remedy which should be sought and or is found nearer home; from Afrikan own environment, culture and traditions. It cannot be external to us and it cannot be derived from a foreign alien environment because its tone will forever distort the Afrikan deed if it were derived from a foreign alien environment. This is because its spices will be foreign and not tied or derived from an Afrikan environment, traditions, beliefs, history and culture. LANGUAGE IS AN INSTRUMENT OF THE HUMAN THOUGHT. IT IS THE SOLE KNOWN INSTRUMENT OF IDEA FORMATION. PROVERBIAL WISDOM IS WISDOM OF CAUTION.

Book of the Month is just what it sounds like: the book we read as a group each month :) The Feb BOTM are Thirteen Reasons Why and Life of Pi, and this topic is where people have been recommending books we should read in March
