SFX Book Club

UK SciFi magazine SFX has an online book club that's open to anyone. This month's selection is The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress by Robert Heinlein.

More details:

Every month we pick a classic SF or fantasy book. You lot read it and post your comments. A couple of months later we run a feature in which a top-class SF or fantasy writer discusses the book, with a selection of your remarks running down the side.

They've also posted links to the author writeup (in PDF) of the chosen books. Check out these reviews:

Stephen Baxter on Ringworld by Larry Niven, Rendezvous with Rama by Arthur C. Clarke, and Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? by Philip K. Dick.

Geoff Ryman on A Princess of Mars by Edgar Rice Burroughs, The Forever War by Joe Haldeman, and Dangerous Visions edited by Harlan Ellison.

David Langford on The Stars My Destination by Alfred Bester and A Wizard of Earthsea by Ursula K. Le Guin.

Jon Courtenay Grimwood on The Shadow of the Torturer by Gene Wolfe and A Canticle for Leibowitz by Walter M. Miller.

Tom Holt on The Player of Games by Iain M. Banks.

Christopher Priest on I Am Legend by Richard Matheson and Pavane by Keith Roberts.

Joe Abercrombie on A Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin.

That's because they're all broken!

Well, they were broken. Now they're all nice and shiny and working.
