I second Walden

[Kimberly]

I'll second Night and In Cold Blood

[Ashley]

I second

Night
The Prince

[Jessie]

I second The Diary of a Young Girl

[Kevin]

I will second The Origins of Totalitarianism and The Communist Manifesto and nominate Pedagogy of the Oppressed.

[Satrina]

I second In Cold Blood

[NancyJ]

I'll second The Feminine Mystique. (It changed my life once upon a time, though it might be terribly dated now.)

I'll also second Art of War (very short), and Machiavelli's The Prince. I might suggest that they be offered together. They are both short, and they are often discussed together in college classes.

[Shaneka]

I second:
The Communist Manifesto
A Room of One's Own
Democracy in America

[Renee]

I second the prince

[Audrė]

I second The Diary of a Young Girl. It’s the book that has been on my TBR shelf since the day I’m on goodreads (2014), so I think it’s about time I get o it :)

[Rowen]

I would like to second The Diary of a Young Girl and The Art of War.

[Emily]

I second The Diary of a Young Girl and In Cold Blood!

[Allegra]

I'll second
In Cold Blood
Down and Out in Paris and London
The Autobiography of Malcolm X

[Jenn]

I second In Cold Blood and the Diary of a Young Girl

[Mary]

I second A Room of One's Own & A Moveable Feast

The Diary of a Young Girl
Night
The Art of War
The Prince
How to Win Friends and Influence People

and a few to add in of my own
The Wealth of Nations
Capitalism and Freedom

[MissLemon]

I'd like to read Night

Hi Leslie - Madame Bovary is classified as fiction, so not eligible for this month, but please hold onto it for next month's nominations!!

[Marcos]

Second Homage to Catalonia

[Angel]

I second both:
Diary of a Young Girl and
In Cold Blood

[NancyJ]

I need to remove my seconds for Art of War and The Prince. (I just read part of Art of War and I don't care to read more.)

I'm in so many bookclubs! I was trying to think of what I wanted to recommend for the next picks in all. LOL. Sorry.

I am sure it was nominated. I think I seconded it. If I didn't second it I do now
