Well, a single thread might be rough as there's a need for separate spoiler-y and non-spoiler-y discussions of a book at the very least. If goodreads allows the creation of sub-groups, maybe a sub-group could be 'general sci-fi/fantasy' discussion? That way the current book is the immediate focus of discussion when you come to the S&L page, but there's a place (or places if there's multiple sub-groups) for general discussion. I think Ning was a little hampered by the current book being kind of 'tucked-away' in its own sub-group instead of always front-and-center.

Vance, how to get it is mentioned at the end of
this S&L blog post -- I *think* it's still available by that method.

I'm finding it engrossing because of the kind of lurid noir style it has going, but my reading has been slow for a technical reason. The free epub version doesn't play well with Stanza (pages are blank), so I've been trying to read the pdf version on my iPhone which is non-ideal for the eyes. I'll probably end up buying the print version.
