I think it would be very nice to have a science fiction book as the winner. So let's get two more nods to A Blood Cell so it can get on the ballot.

I'd like to nominate Rowed Trip by Colin and Julie Angus.
From Goodreads: Two bestselling authors combine their strengths in a travelogue, a search for roots, a romance — and a seat-of-your-pants adventure. One sunny day in 2006, Julie and Colin Angus were talking about the future, as newly engaged couples do. More unusually, they were at the time travelling together from Moscow to Vancouver by human power — boat, bike, and foot. That day, they were examining a road atlas and in particular the labyrinth of European inland waterways it revealed. Julie traced a route of interconnected canals, rivers, and coastlines that led from Colin’s parents’ homeland of Scotland past her mother’s homeland, Germany, and on to her father’s, Syria. She said, half-seriously: We could row (yes, row, as in propelling a tippy little boat on a pond) all the way from Scotland to Syria to visit our relatives. It was a reckless sort of joke to make, given the couple’s addiction to adventure. The result is Rowed Trip, an odyssey by oar (and bike) from Caithness, Scotland, across the English Channel, through France, across the Rhine, the Main-Donau Canal to the Danube, the Black Sea, the Bosphorous Straits, and the Mediterranean. Julie and Colin each describe how the trip allowed them to test their relationship, to explore their roots, and to indulge to the max their shared taste for adventure. |

I've been thinking about reading this for a while, so I'd like to nominate The Longest Way Home by Andrew McCarthy.
I grew up with the Brat Pack movies, but didn't know what Andrew had done since. He is now, apparently, a very accomplished travel writer. Amazon US Amazon UK Kobo Barnes & Noble Goodreads link |

Question: Would The Right Stuff by Tom Wolfe be allowed as a nomination this month? It was nominated (and was runner-up) last year, so the 6-month rule doesn't apply. But the runner-up month is January and we voted on it then too. So maybe the 6-month rule does apply? I need some motivation to read this (or any non-fiction really) and since it did have a good showing last year thought it might still get some traction. Edits: 1) Shackleton is misspelled in the OP and the nomination list post. 2) Since Shackleton died in 1922, shouldn't South be available in the PCML? I see several options but they are all in "Offline" forums so not usable. Editions uploaded by Patricia herself and nrapallo are both listed in various formats. 3) Here is a Goodreads link for South. There are too many versions/options available at Overdrive so no links. Last edited by Dazrin; 02-23-2015 at 08:55 PM. Reason: More stuff |
