flying saucer We meet generally twice a month
We're a group, a book club, of science fiction and fantasy fans.
We meet from around 7:30PM until 10PM on the 2nd and 4th Wednesdays of the month.  In November and December, due to the holidays, we meet only on the 2nd Wednesdays.

You're welcome to join us!  Lately we've been meeting at the Village Inn at I-25 and Colorado Blvd. in Denver.  Although we've met at a handful of different locations over the years.  If you have any questions you can contact us at SFandFbookclub@aol.com.
We alternate between reading science fiction and fantasy books
Once in a while our book club strays slightly from the SF genre. Future selections are recommended by and chosen by the group.  We usually choose readily available, popular paperbacks.
Our group has read and discussed many, many books
Below are listed our last fifty (50) book selections (there are many more). We individually rate the books we've read. You're welcome to see which books we'd each recommend. The ratings and opinions of group members often differ.
Those book selections with linked pages include feature cover art, blurbs, author bibliographies, and author links.  Some include book summaries, commentaries, or critiques.
