What we’re about
Join a journey of discovery, escape, and pleasure - alien planets, swords, sorcery, spaceships, paranormal powers, adventure, multiple realities, monsters, spirits, human becoming, alternative histories and futures, robots, social experiments, time travel, and other cool stuff. Let's enjoy the best of the genre.
The group is kept to a manageable size because we cultivate real community. It's difficult to have a good conversation when we're too large. Members should be interested in meeting in person in West Orange on 4th or 5th Fridays of the month, but don't worry, they aren't expected to attend every single month.
The group began in February 2014, and has met every month since that time. Initially we read novels that won both Hugo & Nebula awards. After about 6 months we began alternating reading novels that won both Hugo and Nebula Awards with books picked by members that won either the Hugo or Nebula award. We now also read award winners of several awards: award lists: Hugo, Nebula, Locus, Arthur C. Clarke, BSFA, Philip K. Dick, Ursula K. Le Guin, World Fantasy, Otherwise (formerly James Tiptree), and Lambda Literary (for SF/F/Speculative Fiction) award winners. We also read Hugo award nominees in the summer before the Hugo award has been announced. (Find our previously read books here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1NhEKzQ6cMDznXN1UfL3jxyPy_w-zWMwQH9-Ss_qTcWw/edit?usp=sharing.) We meet each month, generally on the last Friday in the West Orange/Montclair area. We're a diverse group of interesting, smart, creative folk.
