CalvinHobbes Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 Time to nominate books for the next challenge!Remember: you can only nominate one book. Each book nominated has to be "seconded" by another person to make it to the poll (which will count as your nomination--can't "second" then nominate another book). Nominations close Saturday Feb 23 at 11:59 and a poll will be put up soon after (for a time frame TBD). Link to comment

Georges Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 Well, hey, if it's a race... Beating Oogie to it, I nominate Tomatoland - How Modern Industrial Agriculture Destroyed our Most Alluring Fruit. Spring is coming... This used to be where my weight loss progress bar was. Maybe it will be here again when I'm ready to face the scale and work on my fat problem.

Max Power Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 The Thin Red Line by James Jones I don't think I had to race anybody to nominate this one. The path to Swolehalla is paved with a lot of Swolehate, and you won't get there without being Swole of Spirit too.

cracked_belle Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 I nominate Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance.seconded!! there is never a sudden revelation, a complete and tidy explanation for why it happened, or why it ends, or Why or Who you are. you want one and I want one, but there isn't one. it comes in bits and pieces, and you stitch them together wherever they fit, and when you are done you hold yourself up, and still there are holes and you are a rag doll, invented, imperfect. and yet you are all that you have, so you must be Enough. there is no other way. ― Marya Hornbacher, Wasted: A Memoir of Anorexia and Bulimia Link to comment
