Suggest anything you want, sure. In fact, *please.* It helps a lot if you give me a couple of sentences as a "why would a goon want to read this book" blurb because I haven't read everything! (The only Murakami I've read was the bird one).
I usually take a few suggestions + a few of my own contenders and make the poll that way. If a suggestion doesn't make the poll it doesn't necessarily mean I don't like that book, I might just have decided to, for example, pick all female authors for a month, or all nonfiction, etc.; I rarely know what's going to be in the poll till I make it.

i apologize if you already put up the poll somewhere and i missed it, but i think republic of wine deserves another shot.

i'd also like to make a pitch for farid ud-din attar's the conference of the birds. i believe there's an english translation or two in public domain, and it is a very pretty allegorical long form poem about living a better life and also submission to g-d. there are birds in it, as well.
