[Jo]

The nominations thread for the January Non-Fiction Read is now open, please suggest your book choices below. January is a free choice month, no subject applies.

Please remember that:
1. We do not allow self-promotion or self-published books.
2. All books need to be seconded by someone else in order to get to the voting stage and
3. Nominations must be readily available in as many formats as possible at a reasonable price.

This thread will remain open until 5th December and then will be closed for voting.

Buried in Books: A Reader's Anthology automatically goes through to the poll as last month's runner up and does not need to be re-nominated or seconded. I will update the list below once a day.

I'll second this. It'll be nice to go to sunny, beautiful Italy, even if it's only in the pages of a book. (We just had our first freeze warning in November! Can't imagine what January's going to be like.)
