Nebulas announced

[alanajoli]

Well, I didn't keep up with the Nebulas and read them all in advance, which I suppose means I can shorten my ever growing reading list by just reading the winners.

One of these years, I will actually keep up again. Maybe I should start a sci-fi/fantasy book club and read the Hugo nominees before WorldCon in September. But since that's only three months away and I know there are more than three nominees for best novel, maybe I'll think ahead to next year and plan it for then. That gives me a little bit of time to start finding sci-fi and fantasy readers in my area--an unexplainable rarity in the land of Yale. You'd think that the Connecticut shoreline would be awash with geeks of all stripes due to the proximity of that institution, but we're sadly short on game stores, niche genre stores, and even just SFF circulation in the libraries. I'll have to see if banana_pants and any of the other New Haven-ites would be up for some good coffee-shop book clubbing.

Speaking strictly for myself, I'm generally in favor of things that make me actually read books, instead of meaning to get around to reading them. Also of coffee shops, of course (but then, you expected what from the Seattle kid?). I suspect lisa_bee and hellpossum would be as well, now that they are done being stressed over their respective senior projects.

Ooooh, you bring me three people in your first post! I love livejournal networking. :) I'll call you to chat about the possibilities when I get back from Greece!
