I've noticed something about the book club. A lot of the nominations we seem to get are for old books. We don't get enough nominations for book written after WWII or about subjects that take place after WII. It would be nice to have more modern books or more modern time periods.

So for August, let's not have a single book nominated that's not written until at least after WWII and no books who's subjects do not take place until after WWII.

I just don't get what's the fascination with the old stuff.
