Since it takes about a month to thrash out our group read selection, it's probably time to start compiling the selection of books we will read now.

Just to let everyone know, I had trouble finding this book (Last and First Men). It has at last arrived, and I am starting it today. Sorry to be so late with this.

I have a book to nominate:

Solaris by Stanislaw Lem.

I had a couple of other ones to nominate, but now I can't remember what they were. I will add them when I find where I wrote them down.

With J.G. Ballard's passing, I'll nominate a couple of books on my shelf I haven't read:

Vermilion Sands - from the back cover, "embodies the languid decay of a tawdry dream."
Chronopolis - a collection of his shorter stories

What about something more recent, like Millennium People or Kingdom Come?

Well I guess because those two are usually considered mainstream. The two collections that Gwen mentions are unashamedly SF.

Personally I would go for The Unlimited Dream Company because I haven't read it, and haven't got a copy. It also won the 1979 BSFA Award.

8iansales
huhtikuu 20, 2009, 5:23 am

Unfortunately, Chronopolis is a US-only collection. Vermilion Sands, however, is still available on Amazon.co.uk. Also available are some nice new editions of The Complete Short Stories Vol 1 and Vol 2, The Atrocity Exhibition, Concrete Island, Cocaine Nights, Crash, SuperCannes* and The Unlimited Dream Company. I've already read Cocaine Nights, Crash and SuperCannes, though.

(* Gah. This is insane - without the hyphen between Super and Cannes, the touchstone works... but the title is shown hyphenated. But with the hyphen, the touchstone doesn't work...)

Yeah but if it was a US only collection someone could post the contents and I would read those stories from the Complete Short Stories.

#26 We might as well note his passing by reading one of his books. Perhaps, if he hadn't died, in due time one of his books would have been picked.

29bobmcconnaughey
huhtikuu 25, 2009, 12:06 pm

but i do have an urge to read something relatively new. Neuromancer held up decently, when i reread it a couple of yrs ago, but Gibson's writing has defn. improved over time.
Zoe's Tale is going mass market in a couple of days in the US. I liked Old Man's War a good deal. And then i can pass the copy on to the friend who passed on her copy of OMWar to me! So I'll add one nom for Zoe's Tale.

I would like to nominate The Watchmen just for something a bit different. It's a graphic novel about superheroes set in an alternate history of the 1980's. Apparently won a Hugo in 1988 and graphic novels were subsequently banned from nominations.

That isn't quite right. Each Worldcon can have one special Hugo category if they wish. These are rarely the same year to year. In 1988 the category was "Best Other Forms" which Watchman won. This year there is the special category of "Best Graphical Story" (which apparently could be a three panel comic as length isn't an issue). Also at last year's business meeting someone proposed a new permanent category of "Best Graphical Story" which passed. It will need to be ratified at this year's business meeting (another vote) before it comes into being as a Hugo category.

Apparently this year's special category of "Best Graphical Story" seems to have got a reasonable number of nominations so it looks hopeful for those who want to see a graphical story Hugo.

toukokuu 5, 2009, 10:12 am

Hah, I suppose I should think about considering my taste in SF reading validated in some way. I've read 3 of the 6 seconded books within the last few months. :D

Maybe I'll even vote for one of them, and then I'd spend the time finishing my slog through "Last and First Men". Yes, I'm still attacking it a few pages at a time. I'm even enjoying it in small doses. Stableford has a very dry and subtle sense of humor.

47bobmcconnaughey
toukokuu 5, 2009, 10:23 am

i'll second Zoe's Tale - i liked Old Man's War and this is in some wise a sequel, and a mass market paperback and I haven't read it.

I really don't think Neuromancer stands up all that well, and i'm a major Gibson fan. It's not that technology has long passed (in many regards) that described in Neuromancer that's my problem, it's that I think Gibson has rather steadily improved his writing over the years (although he's become a bit less SFish,too). But both his immersion on Japanese culture and his marked growth as a writer make his later books much more appealing to me. (I did reread Neuro about a year ago, and kept my copy of course, it IS an important book)

53bobmcconnaughey

i read the prequel to Cyberabad Days and liked it a lot - but, as Ian says, if one has to buy it, it's only out in a trade paperback at this point, i think.

anything but Solaris, really. I don't think watchmen is anywhere nearly as good as V for Vendetta but i do own it. I'm sure our son can't find the copy of beggers in spain he "borrowed" several years ago for his class in SF lit, but wouldn't mind buying a new copy. Neuromancer IS historically (well, w/in genre) v. important, so worth talking about. I just want something w/ a bit of plot and some decent characterization and maybe just a bit of excitement.

59ronincats
toukokuu 16, 2009, 12:11 pm

Looks like it's still a tie between Beggars in Spain and Neuromancer. That's a good choice for me. Beggars has been sitting waiting for me to read it for years because I really liked Kress' An Alien Light, and, also sitting on my shelf, I haven't read Neuromancer since it first came out. So I'm good either way, and I'll finish Watchmen on my own.

16 votes, although I only count 14 markers.

60GwenH
toukokuu 16, 2009, 12:49 pm

I count 16 markers. There are two close to each other in southern California, one in Canada, one in Australia.

BTW, I didn't vote as I'm still reading Last and First Men.

So far, including bobmcconnaughey's switch to Neuromancer, it looks like that's winning.

I have an idea for a tie-breaker!

I was just stuck about 10 miles from the epicenter of a mag 5 earthquake. Some books went flying out of my bookcases. I could pick one of those for you. Maybe the one with the name closest in the alphabet to one of the two frontrunners.

Just kidding of course. I'm just finding myself a bit hyper after the shake and rattle. This is the second one in as many weeks. :-O

And the SF bookcases really did wobble a bit! Woah, I'm hearing lots of sirens suddenly. Not surprised exactly, though me and my neighbors were rattled but ok.

Just to clear up any misconceptions, I don't actually run this at all - Geneg created the group, after all. I just occasionally do whatever needs to be done, under the instructions of the majority of people who are concerned enough to post their opinions. If anyone thinks something needs to be done, whether it is starting a new voting thread, creating a poll, or whatever else there is, by all means go ahead and do it.

I just joined and if isn't too late I'd like to vote for Beggar's In Spain. I read it a couple of years ago but Nancy Kress is one of my favorite authors and would enjoy reading it as part of a group. The same would go for Remnant Population.

My latest new read is Conspirator, and although C. J. Cherryh is my favorite author and I loved Foreigner, I didn't think Conspirator measured up. My latest re-read is War of Honor, Weber's tenth book in the Honor Harrington series, which I like very much more this second time around.

Read your blog, Ian, including your comments about Stapledon's Last and First Men. It seems to match the comments given by other posters - good ideas, but doesn't delve deeply enough into them.

Perhaps you might enjoy something of Stapledon's that has more of a conventional narrative tone, such as Sirius or Odd John, and concentrates more closely one or two ideas instead of a multitude?

I think this happened with some regularity in the 50s and 60s in order to resell magazine stories as novels. For instance, Fritz Leiber published "You're All Alone" in Fantastic Adventures in 1950. In '53, an editor at Universal Publishing added soft-core porn scenes and sold the result as the novel The Sinful Ones. Then the story was shortened and published again as "The Big Engine" in Galaxy in '62, then sold yet again as the novel You're All Alone, with new Leiber-written sex scenes, in '72.

Ian is right that sometimes the graphic sex (well, graphic for the 50s) changes the tone of the book to a large degree. Obviously the editors were trying to reach a new audience for the works.

When shall we plan to start or, alternatively, to have finished so we can discuss? I don't see a thread started for it yet, so I'm going to start one under the book's title.

The library just notified me that Beggars in Spain is in so I should be able to get this read in time to actually participate in the discussion.
