let's join another meetup group with a Live-Read (Zoom) of a short story

we will be joining another meetup group the NYC sci-fi fantasy book club group to read live and in real time a short story. we will read a short story out loud together. The text will be up on the screen

"Love Is the Plan the Plan Is Death" is a short story by James Tiptree, Jr. (pen name of Alice Sheldon), first published in 1973. The story won the 1974 Nebula Award for Best Short Story and was nominated for the Hugo Award for Best Novelette and was ranked 3rd in the Locus Magazine poll for Best Short Fiction.
It may be the most alien story ever written. It is confusing; it is rewarding; it is like no other. If you get tired of standard holiday fare, join us for the tale.

The host will put the text on the screen, and we'll take turns reading 3 paragraphs at a time. Since we'll be reading aloud together (live-read) there's no need to read the story beforehand, although if you want to it is available free on https://www.lightspeedmagazine.com/fiction/love-is-the-plan-the-plan-is-death/. You may have more fun enjoying the process of discovery as we go along. The great thing about live-reads is that all you have to do is show up.

There are some natural stopping points, so we'll pause at least once for discussion. A read-through with no breaks would take about 30 to 45 minutes. We may read it twice. We'll finish when we finish. (Maybe 1.5 hours total, but Meetup's scheduling function has a limited pre-set selection of time increments, so that's why this one is listed as 2 hours.)
We look forward to having you join us.
