BOTM Suggestions Mar '18 - Classics (1969 and before) - NONFICTION

[Kaseadillla]

Hello all! Starting up the monthly discussions for February 2018 book-of-the-month suggestions. This discussion is for the CLASSICS CATEGORY.

As a reminder, books that qualify for this category must have a publication date 1969 and before. If the book you wish to nominate was published in 1970 or after, please make your suggestion on the Modern Classics/Popular Reads thread.

For 2018, we will be trying some new monthly themes, the first being NON-FICTION.
Please nominate a book that is designated as non-fiction.

Will start off by suggesting The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank.

[Rusty]

In cold blood by Truman Capote

[Sarah]

I second The Diary of a Young Girl!

[Marcos]

Kasey is great for opening suggestions!
I've read this one, but I'm seconding it, it's a great read.
And not originally in the English language, so it's a good choice for variety as well.

[Martina]

This time in correct thread I nominate Night by Elie Wiesel 🙂

I already read the diary of a young girl, great and
frightening book.

[Kaseadillla]

As Dracula, Cat's Cradle, and The Grapes of Wrath are not Nonfiction titles, they will not be eligible this month. You can nominate again next month, thanks!

[Marcos]

Guys, it would be a good habit to read the opening message at least sometimes! :-)

It changes, it is not the same ever, and usually has all the important guidelines for the nominations of the month.

[Kaseadillla]

Also nominating:

Walden by Henry David Thoreau

The Prince by Niccolò Machiavelli

The Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx

The Origin of Species by Charles Darwin

The Republic by Plato

[Kyra]

I will second Walden and The Communist Manifesto as I thought about adding those as well.

[Marcos]

Well, I intended to nominate Survival in Auschwitz, also published in English as If This Is A Man, by Primo Levi (Se questo è un uomo).

Considered one of the most important books on the Holocaust. Also a trilogy.

But that'd be a direct competition to "Night", with the very same theme.

So, I'll second Night.
