Upcoming Meetings and Books
May 15 - The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula K Le Guin
- Ursula K Le Guin was a groundbreaking female science fiction author who passed away in January of 2018.
- In honor of Le Guin, we chose her 1969 novel, The Left Hand of Darkness, which established her as a science fiction author. The novel won both the Nebula and Hugo awards and is included in lists of the most important science fiction novels of all time.
- In keeping with Women's History month, this novel also deals with gender issues, as it is set on a planet where people choose their gender or may be genderless.
- The discussion will be led by Alta Price (who loves Science Fiction and first read this book 40 years ago!)
June 19 - Fantasyland: How America Went Haywire: A 500-Year History by Kurt Andersen
- This book is longer, so we are giving folks more time to read it.
- We don't have a discussion leader. Volunteer by emailing Alta Price or at one of our upcoming discussions.
- This bestseller may explain how Donald Trump became President. According to Lawrence O'Donnell this book is: “The single most important explanation, and the fullest explanation, of how Donald Trump became president of the United States . . . nothing less than the most important book that I have read this year."
