If you are can't think of any books that we should read, take a look at the group's to-read shelf. This contains suggestions from previous months that didn't make it as the book of the month. Any of these may be added to the current poll to be voted on again.
There are many lists on Goodreads for getting ideas about what to read. Here are a few:Genetics https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/3...

Without more suggestions, we will end with a list of mostly books that I pick out.The Ancestor's Tale: A Pilgrimage to the Dawn of Evolution by Richard Dawkins. I bought the hard cover edition with glossy pages and lots of color pictures, more than 10 years ago and I still haven't read it. I just noticed that there is a new edition in 2016, so if you purchase this, make sure to get the new edition.
The poll is now open. Add additional suggestions directly to the pole or to next month's suggestion discussion.
Get your vote in for the Nov book, otherwise I will have to change my vote to break the tie. Tomorrow is the last day.https://www.goodreads.com/poll/show/1...
