The Flat Book Society: Books for May - vote for your favourites!

Reblogged from Murder by Death:

Note: because it's early in the a.m. here and I'm still suffering cold-related idiocy, I posted this with the wrong months; they've been fixed.

 

8 books have been nominated for the May read in the Flat Book Society.  Very few votes so far though.  

 

To date we have: 

The Double Helix by James D. Watson

 

Darwin's Ghosts: The Secret History of Evolution by Rebecca Stott

 

A Is for Arsenic: The Poisons of Agatha Christie by Kathryn Harkup

 

Napoleon's Buttons: How 17 Molecules Changed History by Penny Le Couteur and Jay Burreson

 

The Sun's Heartbeat: And Other Stories from the Life of the Star That Powers Our Planet by Bob Berman

 

The Gene: An Intimate History by Siddhartha Mukherjee

 

Venomous: How Earth's Deadliest Creatures Mastered Biochemistry by Christie Wilcox

 

Caesar's Last Breath by Sam Kean

 

 

Voting will close  March 1st and the book for May will be announced.  So far it's a tie for the winner with The Double Helix and Darwin's Ghost, so anybody interested in joining us for the March read, be sure to vote. (There's also room on the list for about 5 more books if anybody would like to add a few for the group's voting consideration.)
