3rd book

[Vanessa]

I'd like to read something by a female author. ('Cause I'm a girl I guess...?). Sci-fi seems fairly heavily male-author dominated. Never hurts to change it up.

I really loved Nancy Kress's Beggars in Spain. Perhaps her Probability Moon could be a selection? Or if you know of other well-regarded lady authors please share!

Oryx and Crake by Margaret Atwood is a good one. I read it years and years ago and hardly remember it. I'd be up for reading it again for sure.

Here's a list of Sci-fi books by female authors:

Downbelow Station sounded interesting from the description.

[Vanessa]

I'd be down with Downbelow Station. Or I'd probably still suggest Probability Moon.

Doomsday Book also caught my eye. It won Hugo and Nebula awards. The reviews seem very polarized though. Either love it or hate it. It seems to have a historical bent to it, which I'd be into (scifi doesn't have to be all future).

Also this isn't by a female author, but it struck my fancy: The Moon is a Harsh Mistress.

Lets read Probability Moon next, starting in January. Since it's a short book(>300pgs), it shouldn't take long to read. I propose we follow it with Oryx and Crake.

[Vanessa]

sounds like a plan to me.

Has anyone read Rendezvous With Rama by Arthur C. Clarke? I've seen it mentioned a few places recently and thought it might be an interesting read.

[Sam]

I've read it, and it is excellent.
