I missed most of last Saturday's SF reading club in Chester library. I had no idea it was on so early in the afternoon, and unforeseen circumstances kept me from attending until almost 15:30. Still, the brief exposure I had was entertaining enough, and I'm primed for the next meeting, due on April 24th.

The topic of next month's meeting is William Gibson. We're to read one of William Gibson's books and, well review it to the rest of the group.

I sometimes find it hard to conceal my glee. My Cheshire Cat grin resembles that worn briefly by Kor from "Errand of Mercy" when he discovered that Captain Kirk was his captive; that kind of predatory rictus worn by a vampire just inches away from a nice, sanguine breakfast of neck.

I already have Neuromancer as a PDF document on my computer. I'll have others in due course.

My mission next month will be to gently ease the others into Neuromancer - some people apparently find it too dense a read, but the thing is, it's about love, and loss, and betrayal, and pain, and sacrifice, and the biggest heist in history.

Surely the others will understand those motives. :)

It is an ongoing project. I've set myself the aim of creating the Panther Moderns within my lifetime. :D

I'm contemplating getting them to sign up the club on Meetup or LinkedIn, so they can spread the word about.

I'm also going to recommend that once a session is over, they can adjourn to the West Cornwall Pasty Co. site just up the road from the library for refreshments and further chat.

Perhaps this is an approach you could do to establish such a reading club in your area. :)

Never stopped thinking about you, sending you positive thoughts and hoping that you and yours were doing well.

I recently started listening to that H.I.M. track again. First time I could listen to it without a stab and wince of pain from thinking about Nai. :)

I'm glad you're all doing okay. My regards to the kids, and don't be a stranger yourself. :)
