Update!

[laceblade]

Last night, we discussed Santa Olivia by Jacqueline Carey. It was a small group! lol, snow!

For January, we will view the movie "Brazil" by Terry Gilliam.

There is a viewing arranged at a member's home; if you need details and did not receive the e-mail, PM me.
We will discuss the movie separate from the viewing (in case you watch on your own!) at our regular time/place (again, PM me if you don't know and would like to attend).


For February, we will read The Steerswoman's Road by Rosemary Kirstein. If you can't find a copy, discuss with other members and try to facilitate borrowing!

Small, but intrigued. For our future reference, here were some of the reasons we enjoyed Carey's book:

Although the specific theology had clearly drifted, the Church continued to provide important social/cultural glue. Seeing just how far sideways individuals could slide and yet still function in those roles was intriguing.

The emptiness of the landscape and the paucity of information on WTF was happening in the real world felt very abandoned and empty and apocalyptico. There was no "As you know Bob" data dump on who waged the war and who won and so forth.

The "orphan gang" (Santitotos) related to each other in a realistic fashion.
