Please confirm GR rating over 4.24 (currently 4.33)
Exodus

This book is ALSO on the Best Books of The Decade 1950s (for my decade of birth)

AND, it is over 600 pages, so should be okay for the 1-book option.

[Meg]

I think The Emperor of All Maladies: A Biography of Cancer should work for the 1 book option as long as I get an edition that is over 600 pages (editions seem to range from 590-610pp). It is on the nonfic list for option 6 and is currently rated 4.27 for option 1.

[Trish]

Could you rating-lock The Great Catsby which has a 4.4 as of 25/11/16, for option 1. Thanks.
