May Group Read at Science Fiction
Join us this May at Science Fiction as we mourn the passing of the great Polish author Stanislaw Lem by reading his most well known novel Solaris.
As our last group read in March 2006 inadvertantly turned into a memorial when the author we had chosen months before, Octavia Butler, was suddenly killed in a freak accident, we debated whether to make this next group read yet another memorial. In the end, we decided that there is no more fitting way to give an artist the little bit of immortality they crave than to experience their art after they have left us, and in addition, this was a book many of us had been meaning to read for many year as it is. Hopefully our July book will feature an author who is still among us, but for this month this seemed entirely appropriate.
To join in the group read, you need merely pick up a copy of Solaris and read it in May, posting about it in the Stanislaw Lem topic in our p090.ezboard.com/fsciencefictionfrm2]Books and Authors forum. Some of us will also watch either or both of the movie adaptations of the book and discuss those as well, but this is just another possible option, not required to do the group read. We hope you join us!
