I will second this.

for my last nomination, I'll second France: The Dark Years

Difficult to decide which of the ones remaining to give my last nomination to because I think they all sound interesting, but I'll use it to third Just Kids.

ETA - About a half day left for nominations.

I give my last vote to "France".

I think I still have one vote, so will give it to France: The Dark Years.

Nominations are now closed. Poll will be up shortly.

Great selection this month including the ones that didn't make it. I might prefer some to others, but I'd be happy with just about any of them winning.

JSWolf, I know your nomination didn't get any support this month and I personally didn't support it because I don't see it as especially literary, but I just wanted to say I'm interested in it - I like reading about people who succeeded wildly and finding something out about them, and from what I've heard Jobs' story is an interesting one.

paola, I was also interested in In Cold Blood and like you also haven't ever read it. Although I have seen a film called "Capote" about this period in his life - when he was writing and interviewing for the book. It was an interesting film.
