The votes are in, and Neal Stephenson’s Snow Crash has won the day…erm, month. So put down the remote, step away from the computer and pickup your copy of Snow Crash. You can join in the conversation here in the GWC Forum. We’d like to thank all the voters for contributing, and we’re already engaged [...]

Please join the the GWC community in the Book Club select for August, Heir to the Empire by Timothy Zahn here

This month we took the suggestion of numerous GWCers and skipped the normal voting process, instead selecting 2001: A Space Odyssey as our monthly group read in honor of Arthur C. Clarke’s recent passing.
The book and movie were written concurrently, and the story is largely based on various Clarke short stories. Wikipedia has a great [...]

GWCers have spoken, and this month we’re all diving into some classic sci-fi: George Orwell’s 1984. Obviously the year in question has come and gone, and we’re not living in the world Orwell imagined.
He certainly couldn’t have predicted Big Brother.
But then again, his vision of things-to-come still seems relevant — and certainly lives on in [...]

John Scalzi’s novel Old Man’s War shows up every month in the GWC Book Club selection thread. We’ve yet to vote it in as book-of-the-month, but I suspect it’s about to get a boost in the poll. Why? The great guys over at BoingBoing are reporting this morning that Scalzi and publisher Tor are offering [...]

Listeners/readers have spoken, and this month we’re taking a collective look at Phillip K. Dick’s masterpiece, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep – known to many of you by its more common movie name, Blade Runner. And our voters’ timing is inescapably brilliant. Why? This month’s selection coincides with the most recent “ultimate” relase of [...]

The poll to select the January GWC book-of-the-month is open, and there are some great contenders this month — as always. If you get a chance, be sure to stop by the GWC Forum and vote.
And if you haven’t already picked up a copy of December’s Starship Troopers, don’t hold off any longer. There’s a [...]

All the votes are in, and GWCer’s voted in a landslide to read Robert A. Heinlein’s Hugo-winning novel, Starship Troopers — a selection sure to spark lots of discussion.
Why? Heinlein is famous — or maybe infamous – for his unique combination of extreme socal and political views. Wikipedia describes ‘Troopers as a novel in which [...]

The suggestions are in and this morning we posted the December GWC Book Club selection poll. If you get a chance, swing by the GWC Forum and vote for the books you’d like to group read next month. Voting will remain open through November 30th, and we’ll announce the December selection on December 1st.

It’s easy. Just visit the Book Selection thread in the GWC Forum and add a post with the name and author of your suggested book as [...]

The votes are in, and this month’s community-selected book of the month is Ender’s Game by Orson Scott Card. If you haven’t yet read this much-borrowed-from classic, this is a great opportunity to delve into it with lots of company as the GWC community reads it together.
And if there’s a book you’d enjoy reading with [...]

If you love reading sci-fi as much as watching it, there’s nothing more fun than meeting someone who introduces you to a new story — or better yet, an author who’s written many, many stories that you can read over the next months (or years) of your life. Well, now you can meet dozens of [...]
