I will third this.

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.
