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 These all seem like great choices; which is the least already-read among the group?
(I lean toward The Dispossessed over Clay's Ark because As @susannah noted, Clay's Ark is last in a series. I haven't read Pocket Full of Stars, but it looks like fun, too. Good luck choosing.)
@SuzanEraslan @susannah So it turns out the Le Guin is the most already-read. :grin:
Honestly, it's been a while since I read it, but I think Clay's Ark can stand alone.
@SuzanEraslan @emdeesee Yeah, it can stand on its own. But it's hard to imagine it without the layers it gets from Wild Seed and Mind of My Mind. Butler's layers will tear your mind.
@emdeesee I think I'm the only one who has read any of them, and I've only read the Le Guin. I was told Clay's Ark can stand alone, but if you and @susannah think not, I'll strike it.
