Thank god someone's nomination other than mine is going to win this month..."Love the earth and sun and animals, despise riches, give alms to every one that asks, stand up for the stupid and crazy, devote your income and labor to others, hate tyrants, argue not concerning God, have patience and indulgence toward the people, take off your hat to nothing known or unknown . . . reexamine all you have been told at school or church or in any book, dismiss whatever insults your own soul, and your very flesh shall be a great poem and have the richest fluency" - Walt WhitmanComment

Welcome to the club, muxec! Here's how it works:
[moderator hat on]
There are 3 "official" club threads a month:
On the 1st, I start the discussion thread about the book for that month (say, March).
On the 5th, I will start a nomination thread for the month after next (in this case, May). There are a few rules in place, but essentially everybody nominates one science fiction novel that they wish to discuss.
On the 15th (or thereabouts) I post the voting thread where people can vote on the books they wish to read. They can vote for up to 3 novels (actually, they can vote for more but I ask that they limit themselves to three). This thread, for example, is the voting thread and the winner will be the selection we read for May. If there is a tie I get to decide among the two.
[moderator hat off]
Clifford Simak? Never heard of the "Space Rangers" stuff - do you have a link? You'll want to post it in the thread upcoming April 5th.Comment

Did you nominate Ender's Game as well? If you did, I'm going to make a new rule: winners can't nominate in the round after they win.Originally posted by Clear Skies

Well, I'm here, if I bother to spend the time...
--"Aroo???"
Heh. Thought this might happen. Just a Japanese expression, not referring to you at all
I probably shouldn't have been dropping random Japanese words into my post, but hey, Neuromancer is on the voting list. If we end up reading any Gibson-style cyberpunk you'll have to put up with it anyway.

Red Mars...I've looked at it here and there, but never bought it. It always seemed too dry, without enough vision."Love the earth and sun and animals, despise riches, give alms to every one that asks, stand up for the stupid and crazy, devote your income and labor to others, hate tyrants, argue not concerning God, have patience and indulgence toward the people, take off your hat to nothing known or unknown . . . reexamine all you have been told at school or church or in any book, dismiss whatever insults your own soul, and your very flesh shall be a great poem and have the richest fluency" - Walt WhitmanComment

Is Red Mars the only hard sci-fi book on this months list?
I don't want to read it because if it's good, I'll want to read the other two books. I just don't have the time...
