Introduction

Hi, i'm Richard. I've been indulging in a steady diet of Sci-Fi and fantasy for longer than it's probably best to mention, and am always on the lookout for a great new read - plus what's not to like about discussing them afterwards too?

Please suggest ONE SF novel. No 'classics' or famous books please, everyone says Foundation, Dune, Philip K.Dick, etc. Unexpected choices are welcome. If your new to SF please say :-) THESE QUESTIONS ARE TOTALLY OPTIONAL BUT ***REALLY*** HELP US.

Hellspark by Janet Kagan - a really interesting piece of Sci-fi that primarily looks at inter-cultural communication, as well as wrapping it all together with a great story packed with intrigue and some unusual characters.

Where did you first find out about us? Please be as specific as you can. A bit more than 'google', 'meetup' or 'a sign' would help :-)

What Richard is saying about this Meetup Group

Getting to read some great books that i'd have likely never discovered otherwise and then have some really interesting discussions with a surprisingly diverse group of people afterwards? what could be better! Excellent group, very friendly and relaxed atmosphere, and i'd highly reccommend it to any lover of Sci-Fi who's looking to expand their literary horizons!
