A book club where the reading list isn't created by Oprah. Do you love a good Space Opera or Cyperpunk novel? Do people give you blank stares when you tell them that you're reading *another* Asimov novel? I like to read Science Fiction and talk about it with other interested Sci Fi fans. So lets read one book per month then we can meet up talk Sci Fi and make friends that read the same books as us.

I'd love to schedule a first book club meeting sometime in mid February. Ideas for places to meet? A restaurant, coffee shop?
