February's Sci-Fi Book: The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula K. LeGuin

Join us for February's sci-fi book club meetup to discuss 'The Left Hand of Darkness' by Ursula K. Le Guin.

Our meetings start loosely, hanging out with new and old friends while everyone arrives. After most people arrive, there are introductions and the main group discussion about the book. As that runs out of steam, everyone drifts into whatever groups and topics make them happy.

We are meeting at Koelbel Library. We have 'Meeting Room C' reserved, which is found at the back of the library's cafe. It has sofas, easy chairs, and a variety of tables with stools. This one is on Saturday, so the library cafe will be open for the first half hour. "Light snacks and covered drinks" are also allowed in the space but alcohol is not. I usually bring one variety of small snacks and friends often bring more.

The library closes at 5 PM. There is a nice patio area to linger outside if the weather is good, but the odds are it won't be warm enough. If there are a few people who would like to carry on after the library closes, there are many restaurants we can shift to. It's my hope to start doing this with the next couple meetings.

After the January meeting, the poll for March's book will be listed here.

This is the linked pdf of all our previous polls and selections:

Can't wait to see you all!
