Ooof. Everyone in our socialist sci-fi book club picked different books and I have to be the tie breaker tomorrow. Mastodonians, which would you choose:
• Pocket Full of Stars Like Grains of Sand - Samuel Delaney
• The Dispossessed - Ursula K. Le Guin
• Clay's Ark - Octavia Butler
(Anything else suggested doesn't count-- we have to pick between these 3.)
@SuzanEraslan wow I want to join this club! I've never read Clay's Ark but the Dispossessed is amazing. I must have read it 20 times and it always gives back something new. For Delaney I feel like you just have to go straight to Dhalgren
@Eve Yeah, about half of us aren't big sci-fi heads, and I feel like Dhalgren will blow people's brains to smithereens... I LOVE that book, but it's a lot.
@SuzanEraslan it is, it's heavy in more than one sense. If I was in NY I'd be on it but I'm quite far from there (Tokyo) so, no. I'd be interested to hear about the online book club disaster though lol
