I've found a non-fiction book from a rather good author worth winning the month. Now all we need are two nods and the winner can be voted on when the vote comes to be.

Well, that was easy. I just copied your nomination of Gulp from last year into the list. Roach is a good writer.

Third Your Inner Fish.

Second The Bible Unearthed.

I'll second Gulp.

Since 2014 is the 100-year anniversary of the beginning of WWI, I nominate Rites of Spring: The Great War and the Birth of the Modern Age by Modris Eksteins.

Third Gulp.

So far (IMHO), the best book so far nominated.

You left out the link to Barnes&Nobel...

Rites of Spring is fantastic. Second.

Oops, my enthusiasm for helping achieve some thread momentum overwhelmed my ability to count, and I have used an illegal four nominations. Please feel free to remove whichever one you choose, Tom.

No, you did. I don't supply links unless they are supplied in the nominations. You didn't provide any with yours this year, and the ones I included were copied from your nomination of the same book last year. But I will add it, now that you've supplied it.

I'll take away the last one, whichever it is.

EDIT: It appears it was for Gulp, so Gulp still needs a third.

I support

Rites of Spring: The Great War and the Birth of the Modern Age by Modris Eksteins.

I'm going to nominate a sports book - The Glory of Their Times by Lawrence Ritter.

When baseball great Ty Cobb died in 1961, Ritter got the idea to interview the few remaining contemporaries of Cobb before they too all died. The result was a highly respected best seller, an oral history.

"Almost perfect . . . a vivid, gentle, and humorous narrative, accompanied by marvelous photographs." - The New Yorker

"Easily the best baseball book ever produced by anyone." -- -- Cleveland Plain Dealer

"I could happily reread every summer for the rest of my life that greatest of all baseball books..." -- -- Stephen Jay Gould, The New York Times Book Review

"Quite simply the best sports book in recent memory." -- -- Wilfrid Sheed, The New York Times Book Review

"The single best baseball book of all time." -- -- Red Barber

"There's not a dull moment in the whole book." -- The Raleigh (N.C.) News and Observer

"The Glory of Their Times will be around as long as baseball." -- -- Nelson Algren

I will third "Gulp." Want to maintain my Mary Roach streak -- she is fun.
