First time for me participating in this. I have to say that in my opinion the choices should be limited to books that are available everywhere and at no cost. There are something like 10,000 such books right here so that cannot be that difficult to find a broad selection of such titles that will give everyone something worthwhile to consider. Unless part of the intent of the monthly book club is to support MR authors, in which case pardon me.

So 39 Steps it was for me.
