Author's Science Fiction BookClub?

Okay, so that looks like it would cover our first couple years.  ;D

Good list!

Apocrypha:
It's a very interesting idea and I'd certianly be interested but my time constraints due to work would make my attendance unreliable at best.

I hope you get more support and that this idea gets off the ground though.

Might I also suggest you look into the works of Philip K. Dick or even Cory Doctorow (his work is found for free on his website because of his belief in Creative Commons) who are both favourite authors of mine.

In my daughter-in-law's book club they commit to a year with 10 meetings.  I think we would need to only test it out to see how it goes and skip the initial commitment bit for now. Each participant chooses a book and is moderator for that hour to hour/1/2 session.

As to type of sci fi, I would think that if we grew in number we might be able to off-shoot more book clubs that stick to the sub-genres. 

I'm old school and was thinking it would be fun to go back and explore "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress" or similar from Heinlein, but I am completely open to whatever people would like to explore.  I think we need to make sure it is something that is available at most public libraries to keep the costs down. 

Aakaakaak:
So erm....

o.O

When we starting?

Interesting idea.  If it's to be from a writers' perspective, it might be worthwhile to pick at least one totally terrible work and analyze how it could be improved upon.
