Re: Fiction selections needed for Sep./Oct. discussion
Kingsolver looks intriguing, I am more excited about a book I haven't read before, and for sure I would like to read one I haven't overly discussed before. I have read 451 and Stranger, and I am more excited about discussing 451, or any of the new (to me) ones, Blindness, Handmaiden, etc.

Restless Heart by T. William Phillips is a work of historical fiction set in the 1840's, the time of Americas "manifest destiny". A really good read from a young author debuting his first novel. Check out his website www.twilliamphillips.com and see what you think. There are excerpts, some poetry, upcoming works, etc.

Wait... is this a bad thing?President Camacho wrote:Science fiction???????????? Why? How is it that there are so many females on here that are into science fiction? Aren't guys with pimples and braces supposed to be into that stuff???? What the hell....
Either way, Suzzanne, I take it you're not a fan?
My vote goes on anything with a gloomy outlook for our way of life. :]

I’m not going to say that there is anything wrong with science fiction, I’m just going to say I don’t particularly care for it.froglipz wrote:....whats wrong with science fiction?
