[nesfa-reading-group] Cats Cradle meeting on zoom tonight Plus selection of future books.

[Wesley Brodsky]

Hello reading group;
  
Two books I am interested in: 
Time Machine & War of The Worlds - HG Wells; as previously mentioned, for historical interest.

The Dark Side of the Sun, a science fiction novel by Terry Pratchett. I have not read this but I enjoy Pratchett's more "fantasy" novels and I am interested in one closer to "science fiction"

Tonight we’ll choose four books for future discussions. 


How we choose books:
We nominate 12 books. Nomination process is decided based on number of attendees. 
Using Survey Monkey, everyone receives a link by email that allows them to rank the books from 1 (most like to read and discuss) to 12 (least like to read and discuss) 
Top 4 books are chosen.
