Vote: Science, Religion, and History Group Reads

Descrizione
This is a group read in the 75 Books Challenge group, but anyone is welcome to join in. We plan to do one or two books per quarter. We're ideally looking for books that fit at least two of the categories (science, religion, or history), but we aren't too strict about it. Rank/vote on what you'd like to read, and add explanations if you want to. Try to vote for a book only if there's a chance that you might actually participate in the discussion if that book is chosen—but of course, it's not a firm commitment!
