    Lovely to see more people familiar with that series. :D Some of the Berserker stories were among the first science fiction I ever read.

    K, @The Whispering Monk @Terthna @Ixian @nemo1986 @Lord Sovereign @posh-goofiness @Bear Ribs what do you all think of doing a 2 for one this time? One fantasy novel and one science fiction novel. I think that we managed to all finish pretty early, even though the book we were reading was on the...

    Ok, you are forcing me to choose between a book that is very important and relevant in the light of current events written by a Grandmaster of Golden Age science fiction and fantasy, and a book about a hot blonde elf ass in skintight red leather/latex... I choose... The hot elf in the red...

    So, do we propose books on here or do a separate thread btw? I would like to propose two: 1. Sword Diplomacy by Michael Anderle. I still have the urge to read something somewhat similar to last month's pick but is non the less better, and this, an urban fantasy about a clueless and powerful...

    You know, we can always open a second suggestions thread even before all of us finish this poll. I have a few books I'd like to throw into the pot.

    Yup. This. Anyways, when do we vote on next month's book(s)?

    He was probably lying, since we have at least 3 stories and the start of a forth, IMHO.

    I'd say above average, but not exactly strong, start. In any case the blah-blah, fuck that, type of whiny modern speak sort of worked as a fly in the ointment for me.

    Ok, time to try a spoiler-free review, or spoilers lite, anyways. TL;DR Yeah, this was a decent-ish but long-ish SI Isekai fanfic for The Dungeon of Black Company, for a first attempt, at least, but this dude should have used something better than the Warframe mods cards system, or playing on...

    Why would you want a hardcover?

    Humm, a lot of people are just lazy and/or have a sense of ick when they hear second hand, IMHO.

    I think a bunch of people might be put off because they think that the book will be hard to acquire.

    Well, it is the first ever such event, so it will probably take some time to get things started. EDIT: Also, how do we do this? Do we have intermediate meetings to discuss n number of chapters or do we talk when all participants have read the whole thing?

    Looks like it, but let us give it a bit more time.
