Please post a comment below to nominate a book for the group to read for June 2023.

Please use the "add book/author" link just above the comment box to insert a link to the Goodreads book page for the book you are nominating, so other members can more easily assess it. Apparently this only works on the desktop version of the site; if you use the app, the link is not available yet, so just be sure to put the full title and author.

To check whether a book has been previously read or already selected to be read, check the following list: https://www.goodreads.com/group/books...

You may nominate a book which has been suggested previously and did not win. You may nominate more than one book, but we might not include all of your nominations in the voting.

Authors and publishers may not nominate their own books.

Please do not nominate a book which is unlikely to be available to most members, such as one which was just published within the last three months or which is only available on Kindle in the U.S.

Nominations will close on April 23 or when we have about 10 good nominations, whichever occurs first.

Paul  Perry (pezski) | 41 comments I'll nominate Adam Rutherford's latest book, Creation: The Origin of Life

Herman Diaz | 118 comments I nominate Dinosaurs: How they lived and evolved. It's the best natural history of dinos for adults. I reviewed the 1st edition ( https://www.goodreads.com/review/show... ). Also, this group needs more dino love ;) Seriously, the last time a dino book won was March 2019 ( https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/... ).

Kim | 9 comments Life 3.0: Being Human in the age of Artificial Intelligence.

By Max Tegmark


With all the AI being researched, developed, and tested, I thought this might be a good one for us.
