Book worms

I've always wanted to start a book club. I love reading books and I love talking about them - but most I get to do is sometimes talk about the books we've both read with Dragon and it's a rare treat. After the British Science Fiction Association Awards shortlist was announced this year I've been mulling over the idea of getting some friends to read the books and do kind of a book club thing where we would discuss them. I sent an email to chosen subjects last week and was gutted that no one replied... but then yesterday when we were out eating with friends I kind of brought it up again - only to discover that half the people had not seen the email (The Company has very aggressive spam filters) and the other half had thought about replying to it later on. So today we're back on track and the book club is on!

The idea of reading all shortlisted books at once fell a bit short - we will be reading them one at the time, starting with Jon Courtenay Grimwood's 9Tail Fox. Very cool.
