Title: The Moon is a Harsh Mistress - the next Treks in Sci-Fi Book Club Selection
Post by: Duffster on January 23, 2008, 04:57:14 AM
If you haven't read this book I think you will enjoy it. Is the week of Feb 4th enough time for everyone to have gotten it and start discussing the first section??

I will get a link up today from Amazon to order it from here.  Gets me a few cents that way at least.  ;)

Link is up and I ordered my copy.  I think the week of Feb. 4th will be fine to start Duffster.

I have my copy in hand, and I am ready to roll (or I will be once I finish my current book).

Looking forward to it; Stranger In A Strange Land and Starship Troopers are two of my favorite books.  If The Moon is as good as these, it should be an enjoyable read. :)  So, how are we going to break down the chapters?  Thirty chapters, about 300 pages total...  maybe 10 chapters a week?

I was looking at my copy this morning. The book is told in three "books". How about one each week. It may make for some uneven numbers, but I think it will make more sense discussing this way.

That actually makes more sense.  Sounds cool to me. 

I'm curious, how many other folks are reading this one?

I haven't decided if I want to re-read this one again. I'm thinking of sitting this one out.
