How about The Prison Book Club?

I'll second the prison book club

I will second the book of forgotten authors. The January man is wonderful, but I have read it. The forgotten authors book sounds interesting.

Hi, given that it will be the time of people trying to live out their resolutions I would like to put forward Spark: The Revolutionary New Science of Exercise and the Brain

Cool, happy to second Spark to er, spark off NY exercise

Excellent, Lisa. Will second, Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking as I think that this is a book that more people need to read.
