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.
