I'd love that. Rebekah Send a noteboard - 08/10/2009 08:25:39 PM
I believe it's "RAFhOles".

It is not!

Dammit. But we can't have a Book Gun. }<img class=' />


Well, I would say Doctor Zhivago but no one seems to want to read it. How about Nabokov's The Original of Laura? It's coming out in November.

Doctor Zhivago would be good. However, The Original Of Laura will be expensive when released, alas. It would have so much to talk about. Maybe we can have our own Book Club with the not-scifi types. :P


My money says it's likely the RAFhOles will pick some idiotic fantasy or sci-fi book.

Well, yes, it is a fantasy and sci-fi website. ;)

November Sci-Fi/Fantasy Book Club: submissions ended! ... New new edit on 18/10/2009 Rebekah - 08/10/2009 06:56:01 PM 1575 Views
Nabokov's The Original of Laura Tom - 08/10/2009 08:19:01 PM 1092 Views
I'd love that. Rebekah - 08/10/2009 08:25:39 PM 1112 Views
The real problem... Jacob - 08/10/2009 08:40:50 PM 1003 Views
That's a good point too. Rebekah - 08/10/2009 08:45:30 PM 950 Views
Well, we could always discuss Nabokov in December. Tom - 08/10/2009 11:18:57 PM 915 Views
Done! Rebekah - 09/10/2009 03:00:30 PM 928 Views
Hmm...I'm still thinking about the name Tom - 09/10/2009 03:57:48 PM 1043 Views
I'd be up for reading Doctor Zhivago. Legolas - 08/10/2009 10:08:09 PM 941 Views
yeah, me too. only need to find it in a library near me. *NM* jh - 08/10/2009 10:09:32 PM 391 Views
Don't be cheap. Buy it. Tom - 08/10/2009 11:16:18 PM 950 Views
Well, I would, but I don't like online bookstores. jh - 09/10/2009 01:19:19 AM 990 Views
Well, but you just said you didn't know if you could find it in the library. Tom - 09/10/2009 02:07:54 AM 948 Views
Oh, but... jh - 09/10/2009 11:01:01 AM 907 Views
Also: I did not say any such thing. *NM* jh - 10/10/2009 12:49:06 PM 394 Views
The Gone-Away World, obviously Camilla - 08/10/2009 09:23:12 PM 887 Views
Obviously. Rebekah - 09/10/2009 03:00:47 PM 909 Views
I second these statements *NM* Stephen - 13/10/2009 09:37:28 PM 418 Views
This one *NM* ironclad - 19/10/2009 10:44:37 PM 398 Views
AS Byatt - Possession. Legolas - 08/10/2009 10:21:39 PM 945 Views
It is a book of wonder. Possibly not good for the masses. *NM* Rebekah - 09/10/2009 03:01:13 PM 495 Views
Perfect timing! Or, perhaps in December. Comet Sedai - 09/10/2009 09:35:00 PM 1074 Views
i loved that book!!! she is amazing. just wonderful writing... *NM* temeraire - 13/10/2009 08:44:59 PM 376 Views
How about a classic novel? Haggard - 08/10/2009 11:30:31 PM 1160 Views
You have a very strange definition of classics... *NM* jh - 09/10/2009 01:20:37 AM 417 Views
Replace "strange" with "erroneous" and I'll agree with you. Tom - 09/10/2009 02:09:27 AM 919 Views
Really? Haggard - 09/10/2009 03:08:53 AM 1392 Views
for classic science fiction, your list contained one I could support... jh - 09/10/2009 11:06:34 AM 944 Views
I'd be up for those. *NM* Haggard - 09/10/2009 05:34:19 PM 584 Views
You said "classic novel". Science fiction doesn't generally meet that standard. Tom - 09/10/2009 02:52:01 PM 1004 Views
I understand your point. However... Haggard - 09/10/2009 05:47:54 PM 1360 Views
This isn't really a SF/F Board Tom - 09/10/2009 09:35:06 PM 928 Views
I like your list. Rebekah - 09/10/2009 03:02:09 PM 906 Views
I think if you're gonna do Eco, picking another book to start with would be wiser... *NM* Legolas - 09/10/2009 03:28:50 PM 401 Views
Why? Rebekah - 09/10/2009 03:32:05 PM 865 Views
And what book would that be??? Tom - 09/10/2009 03:47:49 PM 946 Views
Foucault's Pendulum seems like the obvious one. Legolas - 09/10/2009 03:58:37 PM 1005 Views
Having both FP and NotR recently... RandAllThor - 09/10/2009 04:31:00 PM 861 Views
No way. Tom - 09/10/2009 04:56:39 PM 1057 Views
Oh well. I'll have to blame my faulty memory then. Legolas - 09/10/2009 10:11:55 PM 839 Views
Based on past experiences here and elsewhere, it'll be hard to choose the "right" book Larry - 09/10/2009 02:46:22 AM 1226 Views
That Hitchhiker book is as genuine as the "new" Winnie-the-Pooh book Tom - 09/10/2009 02:54:23 PM 969 Views
Perhaps, but it's worth remembering that... RandAllThor - 09/10/2009 03:45:53 PM 874 Views
Adams killed Arthur Dent for a reason Tom - 09/10/2009 05:02:23 PM 988 Views
The movie was not faithful to the books in any meaningful way. *NM* RandAllThor - 09/10/2009 08:58:01 PM 386 Views
The movie sucked, yes. Adams had also been dead for four years when it came out. *NM* Tom - 10/10/2009 02:19:38 AM 397 Views
Right. RandAllThor - 10/10/2009 02:37:08 AM 892 Views
One little thing Larry - 10/10/2009 02:39:01 AM 972 Views
Are you sure? RandAllThor - 10/10/2009 02:43:01 AM 920 Views
Yes Larry - 10/10/2009 04:02:40 AM 1149 Views
I stand corrected. Looking forward to your review! RandAllThor - 10/10/2009 01:00:38 PM 850 Views
Perhaps Larry - 09/10/2009 06:08:17 PM 998 Views
So on Monday we'll find out if the widow's cash need resulted in a good book. Tom - 10/10/2009 04:21:22 AM 885 Views
Pretty much (plus I have to finish reading the second half) Larry - 10/10/2009 05:34:38 AM 885 Views
A contrasting take on the first half of the book RandAllThor - 10/10/2009 04:10:18 PM 846 Views
Pretty sure Eugammon beat you to that sequel. Ghavrel - 19/10/2009 09:31:05 PM 1079 Views
Yes! Camilla - 19/10/2009 09:20:09 AM 777 Views
Rothfuss is a good idea, actually. Rebekah - 09/10/2009 02:59:53 PM 854 Views
There are a few, if I recall Larry - 09/10/2009 06:09:54 PM 837 Views
A question for you all. Rebekah - 09/10/2009 03:04:17 PM 913 Views
Sounds good to me. *NM* Legolas - 09/10/2009 03:29:54 PM 356 Views
I agree , or ... Nolan - 09/10/2009 04:36:03 PM 878 Views
That could work if people were interested enough. Rebekah - 11/10/2009 12:40:16 PM 881 Views
That would be cool with me. *NM* Bryce - 10/10/2009 10:32:15 AM 379 Views
Sounds interesting. *NM* BlackAdder - 13/10/2009 08:51:31 PM 343 Views
I suggest Nolan - 09/10/2009 04:58:27 PM 885 Views
Acacia: The War with the Mein by David Anthony Durham Sir Tybalt - 10/10/2009 02:32:59 PM 856 Views
You didn't mention the rapture! If that happens, will the club still be on? *NM* Bryce - 11/10/2009 07:51:59 AM 557 Views
I'd say yes. Pretty sure the people here will be Left Behind. *NM* Rebekah - 11/10/2009 12:39:05 PM 481 Views
Some will probably even be actively serving the Antichrist. Tom - 11/10/2009 04:16:45 PM 1085 Views
Prefer not to. Ouranid - 12/10/2009 03:14:30 AM 746 Views
Diary of a Drug Fiend was rather good. *NM* Tom - 12/10/2009 03:57:42 PM 381 Views
A compromise candidate RandAllThor - 14/10/2009 06:40:56 PM 756 Views
Fantastic book! I am always for putting that on any list. *NM* Tom - 14/10/2009 07:03:35 PM 383 Views
Is it bad that I read this as 'submissives wanted' PhotoJim - 14/10/2009 08:04:31 PM 1052 Views
