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 i love Delany, but the other two would be better First Books. do come back to it, though!
@r4v5 @SuzanEraslan Strongly second this approach.
Delany's _Stars in My Pocket like Grains of Sand_ is great & would be excellent to talk about in a club. To begin with, you could discuss why the second planned book in the series will most likely never be written. It would also be good to pair _Stars_ with his _Times Square Red, Times Square Blue_.
But I'd start with one of the others. Partly bc they're slightly shorter, partly bc hey, why start with the guy when you've got those options!
