Featured previous book club selection, from May 2006:
When Gravity Fails by George Alec Effinger

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 generally meeting at the Barnes & Noble on South Colorado Blvd in Glendale.  But we sometimes meet at other places.  If you want to come to one of our meetings, we recommend that you contact us at SFandFbookclub@aol.com to verify the meeting location.
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 choose paperbacks readily available at the Barnes & Noble store.
Our group has read and discussed many, many books
Below are listed our last forty-five (45) 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.
Web pages for our book selections feature cover art, blurbs, author bibliographies, and web links. Many pages include book summaries, commentaries, or critiques.
