Broading our horizons

We really did it, collectively and creatively. We resurrected ourselves and have reconnected to our own blog. Yeah for us!!! Over the five years that our book club has existed, we have struggled to find really well written women authored Science Fiction. So often, the women writers in this genre, are creating more of the fantasy books, ones about witchcraft, dragons, alternate worlds and mystical powers. While some of these books are quite fascinating, like the works of Mercedes Lackey or the great Marion Zimmer Bradley, they are unlike the science fiction that is just beyond our reality with their at least plausible scenarios. That was a reason that we read Michael Creighton's Next. It is such a plausible scenario, and frightening that corporations and geneticist could be lured into such creations, in the name of science.

Together we will recreate our reading list and will also add a commentary on some if not all of hte books that we have read in the two year hiatus from this blog.
