Nominations for December 2020 Group Read

[Mariella]

Hi everybody!
Time for our nominations!

Can you think of a theme for our December group reading? There are some quite obvious choices, but any idea is welcome, even a 'free' pick! Plus, you may just pick a work by an author whose month of birth was December - here's a spreadsheet that might guide your choice.

Waiting for your replies!

[Carlton]

As an author with a December birthday, I suggest Alfred Bester’s The Stars my Destination, which was published as Tiger! Tiger! in Britain.
Alternatively, I will be very happy to (re)read Dickens’ seasonal A Christmas Carol.

[Bryan--The Bee’s Knees]

I'll have to wait till I get home in a few days--my work computer can't access the spreadsheet.

[Chuck]

For another December birthday author, I nominate O Pioneers! by Willa Cather, 159 pages.

[Jane]

I suggest as December authors, either:
Bill Bryson--A Walk in the Woods,
or Arthur C. Clarke--Childhood's End.

[Mariella]

I'll add one more December birthday author:

[Mariella]

I have no special requests, so I'll just wait and see...

Actually I've just spotted Flatland on my bookshelf, whose author, Abbott, was born in December, and I'd like it to be put among our possible reads.
