By popular demand I’m putting together a monthly book club. My plan is to vote for a book to discuss around the middle weekend of the month and to discuss it on the last weekend of the following month. Should give ~6 weeks to find a copy from a library to checkout or purchase it if you like and a little more time to read it in case it’s a monster.
Anyone can submit a book title as a comment and the highest upvoted comment at the end of the weekend will be announced as the pick! The runner up will be automatically included in the next month’s voting. Please include the title and author information for any submissions and if you feel like it a blurb on why to pick it. If it has limited availability or something where “googling it” might be difficult please include a link.
Edit: Looks like the winner is “Player of Games” by Iain Banks. Look for the discussion thread last week of August and mid-August for the new poll thread. I’ll be post the two runner-ups since we had a tie. Happy reading!
Player of Games - Iain Banks
Second book in the Culture series which I’ve never read so honestly know nothing about except that it’s supposed to be good. Despite being the second book I’ve heard it stands alone well.
All of the Culture novels are very much stand-alones. At least the first five of them which is as many as I’ve read.
The next book on my list is Winter World by A. G. Riddle, so this will be my very selfish suggestion. 😂
Only to give myself an excuse to reread it: Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep (PKD) – also known as Bladerunner.
