OK, I'll use my last nomination to nominate A Cold Day for Murder, the first book in one of my all time favourite mystery series, the Kate Shugack series of Alaskan mysteries from Dana Stabenow. This was an Edgar Award winner in 1992 as a paperback original, and a delightful read.

I will second Red Mars and Cold Day for Murder.
Quote:
Red Mars did win some other awards though so it is still a good nomination; BSFA in 1992, Nebula Award in 1994, and was nominated/short listed for the Hugo, Clarke, and Locus Awards in 1993. I wish availability/cost was better for the others; my library has two different audio versions of The White Tiger, but no e-book. None of the others are available at all. |

I have heard many good things about this and it has been on my To Be Read list for over a year now, so I will nominate The Three-Body Problem by Cixin Liu.

I nominate the 1983 winner of the National Book Award for History...
Voices of Protest: Huey Long, Father Coughlan and the Great Depression by Alan Brinkley I suspect that readers of today will see parallels between the politics of the '30s and the politics of this year's presidential race.
