We saw VERY few nominations for books in December, and I know everyone is very busy with the season. We'll open nominations for January at the end of the month so be thinking about it.

INSTEAD... we are going to be reading some short stories for those that still want to have something to read together.

Let's read:

This is How You Lose the Time War by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone
The Stories of Your Life and Others by Ted Chiang
The Machine Stops by E.M. Forster

If you have other suggestions we can throw them out here too. I'll create discussion for these three for now.

"The Green Leopard Plague" by Walter Jon William. Nebula award winning novella that blew my mind when I read it in Gardner Dozois' The Year's Best Science Fiction: Twenty First Annual Collection back in 2004.
