Okay, so I've been falling way behind myself. It's been a crazy week so I haven't read, or even found sources for this week's material yet, so I'll update the sources tonight and then we'll aim to discuss Monday.

TO READ FOR NEXT WEEK:

The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas by Ursula K. Le Guin

This one I believe is one of the more famous stories in the list. I'm looking forward to what people say about it next week!

DISCUSSION OF LAST WEEK'S READING:

Prompts for discussion

What do you think led to both of these stories being chosen for the Hugo this year? What's the common theme and why was it given attention in 1972?

And remember to vote for your favorites for next week

Ongoing list of material to vote on

Frankenstein

Forbidden Planet

The Day the Earth Stood Still

I, Robot (book)

Watchbird by Robert Sheckley

Equoid by Charles Stross

Between work and hobby nonsense I have not had time to wipe much less read. And I have about 1000 pages of tech upgrade manuals to read. Going to try to get in some pleasure reading this weekend.

Anyone reading The Expanse? Looks like season 2 of the show went live last month.
