SF Book Club - All Welcome!

[Brân]

Hello,

Just wondering if anyone wanted to start a casual book club with me? I know a lot of us will have some down time (with or without current situations going on) and I am absolutely desperate to get back into reading that's not academic and would love some kind of push/motivation to do so.

I'm guessing for structure maybe we suggest some books or short stories - give a rough timeline and then just discuss them on this thread? The only request I personally have is that people suggest books/stories that can be found online on a public access website so that everyone can participate and there's no financial burden (also accessible on laptops/phones too). It'll also help us find some absolute gems hidden in the corners of the internet.

Let me know what you think and if you're up for it. I know there are a few threads regarding book suggestions and what people are reading right now so if there's a book club one already done hit me up and I'll join that I'm open to whatever genre, I really want to broaden myself.

Thanks for reading

Thank you again @RCee - I am a bit of a forum noob. If anyone knows anyone who enjoys some reading, please tag them in case they find this helpful in distressing times

I recommend The Witcher: The Last Wish...have not finished it yet either.
Should by the end of this month.

https://readanybook.com/ebook/the-last-wish-565901 You can read it for free here, if you'd like. Anyone up for it?

 

[Tana]

I'm also willing to consider alternatives, though. Obviously...I can join your club, right? *bleh

Yay thanks for playing. I'm up for reading anything. We'll see how much this gets by maybe tomorrow morning and decide on a book from there?

@Lux Sure thing!

I just hope it won't be romance... XD

Thanks @RCee and @Lux

I am forwarding the link to a bunch of people outside of SF, too! Awesome!

I'm up for it, but it strongly depends on the book. As I know I'm not the easiest public, you can choose a book and I'll see if I join or not.
Great idea!

 

[Ineluki]

I strongly recommend the series "Memory Sorrow and Thorn" by Tad Williams. Very well written series and for those of you that wanna know where my screen name originates, you'll find out

Start thinking of some suggestions peoplessss (preferably from the free options) and let me know what you fancy and we can put a wee poll

 

[Ash600]

This is something I'll be interested in, although I can't give any cast iron gaurantees of participating at the moment.
