I love all kinds of books, but especially Science Fiction and Fantasy. When I finish a really good book, I love to be able to discuss some of the ideas the author introduced, check my understanding of some of the plot twists and character development, and generally just say how much I liked or hated the book. If you would also like to discuss new books, ideas and authors with SF&F fans, this group is for you! Join us each month for a new book, decided by poll.

Star Wars, The Matrix, Avatar, Star Trek and many other favorites often contain themes of God and spirituality which make for great storytelling. But are these just themes of fiction or is there something more? Can it be that the success of these films is due to their speaking of concepts we are created to connect with on a spiritual level?
