Book Selection: February

[outlawcoon]

Time to select for February as well. Give a shout-out on what you'd suggest to read. If someone suggests something that sounds nifty, say so. We'll read one of the appealing ones first and save other suggestions for future months.

Suggestions:
I, Robot Asimov
A selection of short stories - I have several that I'd recommend, but I'd have to find out if they're still in print.
Wizard of Earthsea

Other suggestions below:

War for the Oaks
Various things by Norton, M.Z. Bradley.
Conan.
Mordant's Need Duology.

I'll also toss in Iron Dragon's Daughter (or possibly the Periodic Table of the Elements) by Swanick and Waking the Moon by Elizabeth Hand.

I would not mind a month of re-reading something I have already read (Wizard of Earthsea) with discussion to follow. It has the benefit of being something I already own thanks to a Christmas present from chinook_wind. I feel that there was much there that I did not grok at the time.

I am comparitively a blank slate, so I am going to read whatever you all throw out there, since most likely I have never read it.

That said, I might like something more on the fantasy spectrum (if that counts) this month since we were so heavy on the science last month.

Also, I might like to cover something by Wells or Verne at some point because I also consider them classics that I am ashamed I have never read. I have also never read Asimov (I would be interested in I, Robot, though I saw the movie), Anthony, and many other iconic authors, I am ashamed to say.

We kicked around some ideas for fantasy tonight. How about A Wizard of Earthsea?

Wizard of Earthsea is a good classic, and a pretty fast read - two thumbs up. I'll volunteer to do the start-off questions, even.
