Overview: Groups

Science for laymen 102 books / 82 members / 33 posts This group is devoted to discussions on science books (nonfiction) that are intended for the general readers (laymen) and not the specialists. Authors who have written books under this genre include George Gamow, Steven Strogatz, Steven Levy, James Gleick, John Gribbin, Robert Jungk, Jean-Pierre Luminet, Hugh Aldersey-Williams, Isaac Asimov (yes, he has lots of nonfiction), Abraham Pais, Ronald Clark, Arthur Clarke (yup, he too has lots of nonfiction), Ed Regis, and David Kahn (mostly about cryptography) among others. We may want to call these writers "science chronologists".
Science Fiction 858 books / 3097 members / 1869 posts Sci-fi group for those who grok - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grok

Recommend some stuff, let people know about new authors, help people find some good books to read.

I want to try to help people (including myself) find some lesser known, obscure, new, or under appreciated authors. I have nothing against Heinlein, Dick, Asimov, Gibson, etc... but let's take Grandmasters and Best-Sellers as a given. You could fill 20 pages full of the big names and that wouldn't point the way to new books. Let's do what SciFi is meant to do and explore some new frontiers... oh man, that makes me sound like I should own a closet full one piece jumpsuits.
Arthur C Clarke 34 books / 32 members / 29 posts A group for all those people who believe Sir Arthur Charles Clarke is the best science fiction writer of our time.
Fantasy and Sci-fi Fanatics 1092 books / 1271 members / 1364 posts I am personally addicted to fantasy and sci-fi and I created this group for people to discuss Fantasy and Sci-fi books that they have read.

I have found myself, more often than not, searching for a really good fantasy or sci-fi book, but to no avail. Starting a group not only enables me, and you, to find great books, but it also is a great way to discuss likes and dislikes about these books.


Just a warning, I will also put realistic-fiction books on the group shelf if I feel that they are as good as a fantasy or sci-fi book. MEOW!!!!!


***NOTICE***
If you are a member, or just a random person, please put any sci-fi or fantasy book that you *LOVE* on the group shelf, please!

Another thing, plez post discussions or reply to one, i'd love to hear your opinions.
