Sci-Fi Group Book Club discussion

It's time to make suggestions for our February group reads! All suggestions made in this topic will be listed in a poll in a few days so that we can vote on the two books for the monthly group read.

If a book has featured in a previous group read in the last 12 months, please do not suggest it for this next group read. You may, however, feel free to repeat any earlier unsuccessful suggestions you (or anybody else) made in previous nomination topics.

I'll nominate Sea of Rust by C. Robert Cargill

I think it will make a fantastic sci-fi read. Big book. Breathtaking story.

Umm... Not sure if it's allowed... but, can I nominate my own hard scifi thriller, Intersection Man?

I like to nominate Dark Intelligence by Neal Asher. I've been thinking about giving this one a go soon myself.

There's no problem in anyone nominating their own novels/anthologies. :)

I'll second Intersection Man. The description gripped me right away. It sounds like it would make a brilliant movie too.

How about The Forever War

That's a good call, Damon. It's been a while since I last read it. I think a reread is long overdue. I'll second it.

It has been an age since I read it, but Ken Grimwood's REPLAY would make a brilliant group read.Replay

I will second The Forever War by Joe Haldeman.

I place in nomination Solaris by Stanisław Lem. A relatively short novel about what worlds might be able to do individuals who have their own baggage that comes inside their subconscienceness. Polish author, was a movie starring George Clooney.

I will second Solaris by Stanislaw Lem. I love that book and the wonderful 1972 film version. I can read Lem until the cybernetic cows come home.

I second Sea of Rust. I have it on my short list anyway!

I've set up the poll for choosing our two group reads for February. It will go live at 12:01 a.m. GMT (Feb 6th) or 4:00 p.m. PST today (Feb 5th). The poll can be found here.

I'll be reading Intersection Man anyway ... just have to wait for payday to order it (curses!)

You're welcome, Hari!
