Time to post some nominations for next month's book discussion. I nominate the runner ups to last months contests. The Chimp Paradox, by Dr. Steve Peters and Never Split the Difference, by Chris Voss I just started reading this month's book selection so I'm running a bit behind...

54 ppl voted for it.

I'm still reading the book so I haven't contributed as it is on audio-book -- and audio-book means I need to be in the car stuck in traffic, which doesn't happen often. Perhaps people are still reading it.

Also to elaborate about my suggestion for Atlas Shrugged, I wanted to note that it was voted as the Library of Congress's #2 most influential book people have ever read, second only to The Bible. To give this a little context, Dale Carnegie's "How to Win Friends and Influence People," was only #7, Viktor Frankl's "Man's Search for Meaning," by Viktor Frankl was tied for #9.

1. The Bible.
2. "Atlas Shrugged," by Ayn Rand.
3. "The Road Less Traveled," by M. Scott Peck.
4. "To Kill a Mockingbird," by Harper Lee.
5. "The Lord of the Rings," by J. R. R. Tolkien.
6. "Gone With the Wind," by Margaret Mitchell.
7. "How to Win Friends and Influence People," by Dale Carnegie.
8. The Book of Mormon.
9. (tied, in alphabetical order by title) "The Feminine Mystique," by Betty Friedan.
"A Gift From the Sea," by Anne Morrow Lindbergh.
"Man's Search for Meaning," by Viktor Frankl.
"Passages," by Gail Sheehy.
"When Bad Things Happen to Good People," by Harold S. Kushner. Book Recall

Atlas Shrugged:

"The book depicts a dystopian United States in which private businesses suffer under increasingly burdensome laws and regulations. Railroad executive Dagny Taggart and her lover, steel magnate Hank Rearden, struggle against "looters" who want to exploit their productivity. Dagny and Hank discover that a mysterious figure called John Galt is persuading other business leaders to abandon their companies and disappear as a "strike" of productive individuals against the looters. The novel ends with the strikers planning to build a new capitalist society based on Galt's philosophy of reason and individualism."

I think it's the perfect book for this forum. John Galt reminds me of @Kak
