WHY, I ask you, is there no action movie series based on this man's life?!

Classic Science Fiction Stories | Adam Roberts

Hi Everyone!! I'm trying to be better with my mid-month check-in for #ClassicLSFBC. I hope everyone was able to find a copy of Doomsday Book by Connie Willis, either in print, ebook or audiobook. Now is the time to make nominations for January's #ClassicLSFBC selection. As usually, the book with the most votes will be January pick and the runner up will be for February. With it being a new year, with a new presidential administration, ⬇️

RamsFan1963 I was sorely tempted to pick something dystopian, but I'll try to keep it positive. My nomination is The Ship Who Sang by Anne McCaffrey. @Bookwomble @Ruthiella @TheSpineView @BookmarkTavern @wanderinglynn @Readergrrl @Johanna414 @Lizpixie @BookBelle84 @Larkken @julesG @Deblovestoread @majkia @LeticiaToraci @sebrittainclark @kwmg40 2w

Ruthiella Looking forward to another year of classic sci-fi! 👍I don‘t have any nominations, however. I‘ll vote from everyone else‘s picks. 2w

TheSpineView Would love to reread

The Martian Chronicles

CatLass007 I loved The Ship Who Sang. I‘m almost certain that I still have my copy. But it‘s packed away in a box in my storage building behind my house. But I‘d love to read something else by Anne McCaffrey. The Pern series is fabulous but she wrote other series I‘ve never read, so I‘ll nominate Freedom‘s Landing. Whatever the group chooses, I‘m inspired to read a lot more of her work in 2025 than I had thought of.

Freedom's Landing

swynn Yay for more classic SF! I hope to participate more regularly in 2025. I've been thinking about a reread of Alfred Bester's The Demolished Man, so I'll nominate that.

Demolished Man

Larkken Yay! I‘m enjoying Connie Willis more than I thought I would! What is our cutoff for classic, again? 1w

RamsFan1963 @Larkken We never really established a cutoff date, but I've always thought we shouldn't be using anything after 1990. Snow Crash was published in 1992, that has been our most recent selection so far. 1w

Larkken Excellent! I like it. I loved Mccaffrey when little, which reminds me I also loved Andre Norton. I'd be curious how this holds up too

GingerAntics @TheBookHippie I saw that. I got Once Upon An Autumn when I got the ebook version. Autumn and Winter are my favourite seasons, so I thought I would start there. I‘ll have to get the paperback of Autumn (along with Spring and Summer) when I get a job. The ebooks aren‘t bad at $4.99 each for the wonderful writing I have experienced so far. 2w

GingerAntics @TheBookHippie I‘ve only read the first two stories so far, but they are just far and away better than the last book, and I‘m seeing the allegory in the first story. I did not see that ending coming, that‘s for sure. 2w

TheBookHippie @GingerAntics I love this book, however I‘m in the minority 🫠🤣🫣 so welcome to that 🤣🤍❄️🤍 I think there‘s a good mix in this book. 2w

GingerAntics @TheBookHippie people don‘t like this book? Seriously? Wow 2w
