It’s a brand new month, so we have two new books of the month to discuss. For August, you selected:
August Fantasy: Deathless by Catherynne M. Valente
August Science Fiction: Surface Detail by Iain M. Banks
There are a couple of starter topics up for each book, but please feel free to start more. Nick has volunteered to lead the discussion for Surface Detail. If anyone wishes to lead Deathless, please let us know ASAP!
We also have our schedule set for the next couple of months:
September Fantasy: The Killing Moon by N.K. Jemisin
September SF: Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson
October Fantasy: A Night in the Lonesome October by Roger Zelazny*
October SF: Grass by Sheri S. Tepper
*I know we have some real enthusiasts of this month-appropriate title, so if any of you would like to shepherd the discussion (whether in standard format or a day-by-day series to follow the book's structure,) please let us know.
In series read news, our ongoing discussion of The Honor Harrington series by David Weber is still going strong. We are currently in the middle of book 12, Mission of Honor. Topics for all previous books in the series are still open for discussion, so it's never too late to get involved if you are so inclined.
That's it for now. Happy reading!
