And so, sometimes, when it rains, it pours.

Here are my nominations for August. I chose by what interested me, what I thought might make for good discussion and what I thought others may be interested in, but, first and foremost, since I only get one shot at this for a long while, my main criterion was which works especially interested me, and I'll be more than happy with any of these nominations winning.

This exercise of making an open-ended list of nominations for the group proved to be quite enjoyable, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did when it's your turn. I'll post the vote within the day. Without further ado:
