The Edgewater Graphic Novel Book Club

We're looking for readers who enjoy speculative fiction of all kinds (science fiction, fantasy, etc.). We've changed the focus of the group to Graphic Novels for the time being. We've had good luck with that genre and love it as much as other speculative fiction genres.

We'll pick a book, you grab it from the library, download it, borrowit or pick it up from your favorite comics retailer, and we'll discuss it. We'll still talk about what's new and interesting in Sci-Fi/Fantasy as well because that's what we always do.

There will be meet-ups for scifi/fantasy movie nights, conventions, book swaps and/or other related activities as well. Meet fellow fans, share your favorite authors and books and discover new favorites!

We also have a discussion group on GoodReads: http://www.goodreads.com/group/show/16620.Edgewater_scien...

"Hi! I am an aspiring fantasy writer/reader looking to meet people with similar interests (like everyone else here, of course ;P). I've been more heavily into anime instead of graphic novels lately, but why not swing back to good old ink n' paper?"

"I'm still a bit of a newbie to Chicago & have been looking for interesting groups. I'm an avid reader & dig the idea of a graphic novel-centric book club. I also enjoy sci-fi/fantasy (in all forms of media). Looking forward to joining the group! :)"
