Hi Boradicus. We have not read The Sheltering Sky as a group, so unfortunately not eligible here. Based on publication date, please comment on one of the other threads for BOTM eligibility. Thank you!

Thank you. I thought that the suggestions were for books that have not yet been read by the group. I apologize. Where can I find guidelines on what and where to post? Thanks!

Hi, Boradicus!
If you go to "BOTM Suggestions FAQ" you'll find explanations of the categories we have.
We have three: Books 1969 and earlier, Books 1970 and later and then the "Catch Up" category which is to reread a previous group read. Each category has its own nominations thread.
Hope that helps.
