Second attempt at writing this e-mail (here's hoping I don't
inadvertently delete this one too). Following last nights meeting,
please find below a list of proposed future books for the group
accompanied by a brief summary of availability and occasional
tourettic coments:
- The Illuminatus trilogy, Robert Shea & Robert Anton Wilson, readily
available (but a bit of a mammoth)
- Deathworld, Harry Harrison, readily available (though I preer Deathworld 2)
- Ender's Game, Orson Scott Card, readily available (though some
might want to seek second hand copies for moral reasons)
- A canticle of Leibowitz (not Giblets), Walter M Miller Jr, readily available.
- War-Day, Whitley Strieber, assorted 'used and new' on Amazon.
