TO READ FOR NEXT WEEK:

The Longest Voyage by Poul Anderson

&

Golem XIV by Stanislaw Lem

~

Big huge thanks to Devac for getting us Golem XIV in digital format for the club. He's warned us there are a great many typos in this version though.

Also thanks to my significant other for finding the digital version of The Longest Voyage and sparing me from scanning the hard copy I got.

DISCUSSION OF LAST WEEK'S READING:

Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes

&

2001: A Space Odyssey

Prompts for discussion

1. Flowers for Algernon: last week happiness was a central theme in the Hugo winner. What do you make of Charlie's happiness as his state changes?

2. In 2001, the ending sequence of the film seems to be a divisive point for audiences. What do you think of it? For those who have also read the book version, what comparisons do you draw between the film and the book version?
