Some complained about too many classic "dusty" books in the selections. Look at the publishing dates of the nominees:

West with the Night by Beryl Markham 1942
The Last Grain Race by Eric Newby 1956
Timeline by Michael Crichton 1999
Lost Horizon by James Hilton 1933
A Lady Cyclist's Guide To Kashgar by Suzanne Joinson 2012
South by Ernest Shackleton 1919
Endurance: Shackleton's Incredible Voyage 1931
The Innocents Abroad by Mark Twain 1869

:cough cough:

If you are one of those people, you may want to consider voting for either Timeline or A Lady Cyclist's Guide To Kashgar.

And next month's category is..... Classics.
