After much debate I skipped #BOTM (again) and managed to stop myself at 2 (though I wanted 6!)for #aardvarkbookclub
What did you all get this month?
pick3 ⭐I thought this was the third and final book in this series. It doesn‘t feel like a third and final book. It feels like the first ending before a new plot sequence. Ada and Ryan have made it back to the original Earth. Their combined mission is to reprogram the nanobots that will help clean up earth and save the planet. We do get to meet Ada‘s mom and some of her friends and find out important background information.
bailedUgh, this is so frustrating. I love a good classic sci-fi story, especially when it‘s talking about catastrophic events happening on earth and to the environment. I just couldn‘t get on with the writing style I think. I can see where the author was taking us and what they were trying to say but I just couldn‘t connect with any of it. I‘ve been trudging through this book for so long and I just need to give up.

so-soThis is a story of a group of people exploring planets for resources. Instead of dying you get reprinted. Apparently the printer in space can make misprints of people! Weird!
A couple of questions for any who have finished this month‘s #ClassicLSFBC pick. If anyone would like to be added or removed from the tag list, let me know.
🚀 What do you think about the novel‘s imagined trajectory for humanity? Do you see it as a positive or negative development? Did any of you also read “Almost Human”, one of our earlier group reads? It posits a very different possibility.

🚀 The characters are fairly flat, which isn‘t uncommon for some classic SciFi. Did particular character or behavior stand out to you? Maybe Karellen? He‘s the only one present in all three sections of the book.

pickAh back to finishing my graphic novel series. In this volume, we learn more about Jayne's past and why he left his hometown and family. The crew of Serenity is in a bind to help monks that have been robbed and chaos ensues. Wonderful story and I even like the new characters. Good graphics as well.
pickNormally I bounce off sci fi with heavy philosophical components but I really enjoyed this one. I think it's because of the main character Ellie. Because this was written in the 80s I did find it a little odd when I encountered the mix of old and new tech. Like, they had holographic projections/images and yet they used magnetic tape recording devices and fax machines.
pickI am 35 years late to the party, but this book is amazing! I can‘t say enough. I love the vignette-structure of the story. I love the individual vignettes themselves. I love the characters. Just loved this book so much. I am looking forward to the sequels.
