Speculative Fiction

[close] This is a group dedicated to reading SF works from around the world translated into English. We cover both new releases and older publications, and nominate at least one group read each month. Founded in 2018 by Rachel Cordasco of www.sfintranslation.com, we're working on becoming a more active, participatory group as of autumn 2020. Come read with us! :)

[close] A group for fans of Christian spec fic — fantasy, sci-fi, space opera, time-travel, dystopia, superheroes, all that good stuff.

[close] A "curio" is a rare, unusual, or intriguing object that sparks curiosity and stands as a testament to the strange. This space is dedicated to exactly those kinds of books: the weird, literary, and genre-defying stories that refuse to be forgotten.

[close] "On paths unknown, we tread with wonder. Through a glass darkly, to brave new worlds and beyond we go." We seek to explore and do critical reading from any genre on challenging literature, both new and established, that links into themes of exploring ideas relating to various aspects of culture, society and technology, as well as what is loosely called 'literary fiction'; and in addition, non-English translated literature from around the world. We also discuss classics as well as avant-garde literature from all eras inasfar as they have challenged the world around them. Wherever necessary to give more background knowledge, discussion of non-fiction books are welcome. The idea is to provide not only a forum for discussion, but a database of book-ish information for the eclectic reader. Our threads all remain open indefinitely, so you can browse through and read and/or contribute at your own leisure.
