I know that we're behind and some of us have not yet finished our current group read yet (and are therefore not ready for another), I realize that there may be others of you that are interested in moving along. Also, it will take a little while to get through nominations, voting and acquiring the next book, so we should start now.
Here's my spiel from the last nominations, which applies here as well:
"Feel free to nominate anything, just be prepared to describe to everyone why you're excited about it as a work of proto or early science fiction in case it's not clear to the group.
One nomination per person please. Please nominate by using "add book/author" and selecting it from the GR catalog. Nominations will close on 11/16 and we'll begin voting. Voting will close on 11/22.
Since we're a small group we can discuss when we want to start the read after voting is done -- probably giving heavy weight to book availability. We can also further discuss reading pace once voting has closed and I can put together a schedule for discussion threads based on that."
