    New to this too.

    Since I'm reading it now:

    Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky

    From what I can gather in the searches it was nominated for January, but I can't seem to find out if it won. If not then I nominate it.

    Which one?
    You can only nominate one book per month.
    If you believe even a half of this post, you are severely mistaken.
