Book of the Month Titles List

I was thinking of suggestions for July BOTM and realised it would be easier knowing which ones were already discussed. I could only find a list until August 2007 and since it's a closed thread I decided to post a new one. If one of the moderators could merge them I think it would be the best.

Also I'm not sure about some of the months (where there's a ?)

Hi pamba. We usually start a new thread for each month, where people suggest books and if one gets enough consensus it gets picked, if not we put up a poll. This time we're trying something different, we're trying to decide a few months in advance. We've narrowed the list to 15 books and are trying to narrow it to 10 now so we can put up a poll. You can join the discussion here.

But since you were probably going to suggest different books, just stick with us for a little while, cause sooner or later another thread will be open for more suggestions...
