Re: WANTED: Fiction book suggestions for our next fiction discussion!
That's 3 members saying they'd like to read and discuss Left Hand of Darkness. Anyone else like this book idea? We could bypass the voting and simply pick the next fiction book through this discussion right now. We don't have enough people participating in the fiction discussions right now to warrant a poll.

That would be fine with me. I've always wanted to read it anyway.

The male perspective gave you trouble, eh? How could a male have a troublesome perspective?
I've had a bit of this problem in reverse with Margarete Atwood. Her books always give me the creepy sense that my grandma is writing the story.
A late entry: "Replay", by Ken Grimwood. A straight forward sci-fi plot, but the book actually says something about the meaning of life.

Re: WANTED: Fiction book suggestions for our next fiction discussion!
As you all I can see I have created the forum for "The Left Hand of Darkness" and added the cover image to our Current Book Discussions block on our home page. Try to get a few posts in that forum as soon as possible as that always seems to pull new participants into the discussion early. If you wait till a few weeks into the discussion period it is a sure thing that the entire discussion period will be slow. Just make any sort of post at all. Simply mentioning that you are reading and planning on participating in the discussion is enough to get people to order the book and participate.
