SCIFI SUMMER

YO! 

Here’s the summer reading list. I selected those top three because I wanted us to have a range in authorship, time period, and topic. Some of these books are at the New Orleans Library, others you could get on inter-library loan. Check at some of the used bookstores in town too. If you can’t find em, Amazon.com also sells them for pretty cheap. If none of these options work for you, let me know and we can work something out.

Gender in Science Fiction summer reading:

1) Handmaids Tale (1985) - Margaret Atwood
2) Stars in My Pocket like Grains of Sand (1984) – Samuel Delaney
3) Solitaire (2011) – Kelley Eskridge

Other recommendations for summer reading:

Up the Walls of the World (1984) – James Tiptree Jr.
The Left Hand of Darkness (1969) – Ursula LeGuin
Imago (1989) – Octavia Butler
Midnight Robber (2000) – Nalo Hopkinson
Wraeththu Chronicles (1987-2004) – Storm Constantine

Just a reminder, we will not be meeting in the summer but we will reconvene and start discussions about our summer readings this fall. Take notes, make questions, and interact with the world while you read! If anyone is into having an online discussion they can set that up. I'm just not that techy yet.
