February 2013 Random Read Nominations

[Maggie, space cruisin' for a bruisin']

Please nominate ANY Sci-fi book for our February read

[Sérgio]

Fiasco by Stanisław Lem

Since someone else is nominating a Lem book, I'll go instead with Definitely Maybe by the Strugatsky brothers.

[Kevin]

Footfall

[Maggie, space cruisin' for a bruisin']

oooh Footfall--we need to read that!

I am going to nominate Night of the Living Trekkies

[Ruth]

I'll second Footfall.

[Zac]

How about The Reality Dysfunction ?

[Janny]

The Quiet Invasion by Sarah Zettel - superbly imagined, amazingly unrecognized. Plenty of wonder here, and not predictable at all.

[mark, personal space invader]

i don't think i will nominate anything because i would love to read either Footfall or The Quiet Invasion.

[Mike (the Paladin)]

I'll second Footfall

[LindaJ^]

I nominate Solaris by Lem Stanislaw

[Dennis]

I nominate Downward To The Earth by Robert Silverberg.

[Smilla's Sister]

May I nominate, too? I'd like to suggest Memoria. A Corporation of Lies

Can one only suggest one book?

[mark, personal space invader]

of course you can nominate, SS! but yes, please only one nomination.

Memoria looks interesting. haven't heard of that one, or the the author.

[Wastrel]

How about Babel-17? Always meant to get around to reading that.

[Banner]

I've been wanting to try Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell

[mark, personal space invader]

that is an awesome book, Banner. one of my favorites. you should definitely read it - but can't really nominate it because it isn't scifi. any other nomination you want to make?

[David]

A lot of great suggestions here, so I'll just second the nomination for Babel-17. I'd love to re-read that with a group. Delany is a favorite of mine.

[Banner]

Mark I kind of thought that might be the case, but a saw a few "sci-fi" tags and gave it a try.

How about The Anubis Gates

[Chris]

I second the Reality Dysfunction by Peter F. Hamilton.

[Wastrel]

Yeah, I guess that was a tad obvious, huh?
I just noticed the nomination of Definitely Maybe by the Strugatsky brothers. That'd be high on my list too.

[Mike]

I'll second Memoria. Picked it up but haven't read it yet.
