Once per month, let's nominate a new book for RPG Literature Club, to be read by all of us for discussion throughout the month using the #books room on RPG Chat.

I've added my first nomination to the list below, which we'll update as new selections are added.

I have several to suggest that might be interesting:

Non-Fiction

True Crime:

• Five Days at Memorial: Life and Death in a Storm-Ravaged Hospital
Note: This book may not be suitable for everyone and does contain potentially triggering content dealing with medical practioners, natural disasters, emergencies and death.

Medicine:

• The Hotzone
• The Healing of America: A Global Quest for Better, Cheaper, and Fairer Health Care
• The American Plague

Fiction

Fantasy:

• The Last Wish: Introducing the Witcher
• Sunset: Book One of the Nightlord Series
• Crow's Meal

Science Fiction:

• Revenger
• Snow Crash
• Ready Player One

I wouldnt mind reading the Witcher series. So I vote for that.

I'll give my suggestion as something simple.

I can suggest 3 books, or rather, series of books worth checking out

• Assassins Creed novel series {not including Odyssey or the Assassin's Creed movie novels, I havent read them yet so I cant make recommendations} Of this series I highly recommend Black Flag, and Forsaken
• Kingdom Keepers series by Ridley Pearson, this series is worth it honestly I really enjoyed it, and now my own daughters enjoy it too
• Peter and the Starcatchers series by Ridley Pearson and Dave Barry. Personally I found this trilogy to be an enjoyable read. My youngest found the third book a bit too scary to read before bed, but my oldest loved them all. I believe there is now 5 books in the series including Bridge to Neverland which I havent read yet, same with Sword of Mercey

Then just a normal book I can recommend but everyone thinks I am a weirdo for erading it every month, LOTR trilogy single vcolume edition

All these suggestions are really great!

I've narrowed it down a bit, and picked about one book per person's suggestion list.
If you haven't voted yet there's still time, I'll be closing the poll tomorrow.

You can vote for your favorite book to read and discuss here!
