November's Sci-Fi Book at Koelbel Library: The Stainless Steel Rat by H Harrison

Join us for November's sci-fi book club meetup to discuss 'The Stainless Steel Rat' by Harry Harrison.

(Note: if you're having difficulty finding the novel, it is available on Project Gutenberg.)

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, but there is a nice patio area to linger outside if the weather is still good. I usually like to continue talking there, or we can go somewhere for dinner. There are also a couple restaurants across the street and it is only a couple blocks to the large variety of DTC. We have not yet committed to doing this, but at some point we'll relocate to one of those and continue on.

November's book description:
'The Stainless Steel Rat' by Harry Harrison (1961) - 166 pages

In the vastness of space, the crimes just get bigger and Slippery Jim diGriz, the Stainless Steel Rat, is the biggest criminal of them all. He can con humans, aliens and any number of robots time after time. Jim is so slippery that all the inter-galactic cops can do is make him one of their own and put him in a boring desk job. But that won't last...
