[nesfa-reading-group] Book picks for June, July

[M M]

Hi folks,
for now, I'm going to nominate The Three Body Problem, by Cixin Liu, for our book for June.  I'm also nominating Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell for the September book, with a possible special media viewing of the BBC miniseries, too. Please weigh in on these choices soon as possible. If I do not hear any alternative choices with a significant number of votes by Monday, I will assume that the above two books will be our group selections. 

 If there is no real consensus on a book for July, we will have to discuss this at the April Reading Group meeting.
Happy reading!
Michael

 I, for one, wouldn't mind reading an anthology now and again. This would allow me the luxury of skipping some stories, if I ran out of time to read, yet still participate in the conversation a bit. 

A somewhat more reasonable compromise might be to read an anthology one month, then a longer book of, say, 500 pgs or so the next, to allow time to get all the reading done.

Even though I proposed "The Three Body Problem" to this very group
in a posting on Mon, 16 Feb 2015 13:19:39,
I do have mixed feelings about the book (I have read the whole trilogy).

I wish to propose a few anthologies as possible candidates -

  _Bridging Infinity_ edited by Jonathan Strahan
  _Invisible Planets_ edited by Ken Liu
  _The Mammoth Book of Cthulhu_ edited by Paula Guran
