27 november kanske är ett möjligt datum om folk kan. Ska vi ta Watts-boken då? Eller välja ut noveller istället och ta Watts-boken på mötet efter någon gång i januari? -- /Tommy Persson

SV: SV: [Lsff-book] Peter Watts?

Jag kan sista veckan i november och andra veckan i december men inte däremellan.

För min del är inte november och december signifikant annorlunda än andra månader på året. Varför inte någon gång i slutet av november? -- /Tommy Persson

Peter Watts?
by Tommy Persson 29 Oct '07

29 Oct '07

Jag såg att alla Peter Watts böcker fanns släppta under creative commons och de finns också att köpa för dem som föredrar pappersvarianter. Jag ser att hans första bok Starfish får bra kritik: http://www.sfsite.com/11a/star68.htm Boken finns i pdf här till exempel: http://www.feedbooks.com/discover/view_author/193 Så om man vill ta en bok till nästa bokbokmöte som förmodligen ingen läst kanske denna passar. Den är bara 320 sidor lång. Möjligtvis är boken svår att få tag i men 320-sidor om man skriver ut den med 4 sidor per blad blir ju inte så mycket papper... Åsikter? -- /Tommy Persson

Vad till nästa möte?

Vad ska vi ta till nästa möte? Vi pratade om collection? Om man vill välja bland saker som finns tillgängligt elektroiskt så finns dels det som fanns tillgänligt på: http://www.freesfonline.de/Home2.html Sedan hittade jag nedanstående samling. Man skulle ju kunna välja några därifrån eller ta alla något år.

På http://www.feedbooks.com/ fanns en hel del fria sf-böcker. Kanske inte så många novellsamlingar men det fanns massor med blcker av H. Beam Piper och däribland några samlingar. kollade inte igenom resten så noga. Det mesta vara gamla författare plus Doctorow och Stross. -- /Tommy Persson

Tiptree
by Tommy Persson 11 Oct '07

11 Oct '07

Då Adam Robert varit uppe som möjlig gäst till ConFuse och då vissa personer på bokmötet igår inte tyckte Tiptree-historien var väldigt bra kan jag ju citera vad han skriver: http://www.strangehorizons.com/reviews/2006/11/her_smoke_rose_.shtml But I think I had nevertheless been walking around with a caricature version of Tiptree in my head. Specifically, I'd seen her as embodying a slightly old-school feminist version of "the theme of gender," the story of women as oppressed by patriarchy. In fact this woman-as-oppressed, man-as-oppressor line did not really bring out the best in Tiptree as a writer. There is an obvious exception to this statement, of course: 1973's quite stupendously good "The Women Men Don't See"\u2014perhaps the best single SF short-story of the 1970s\u2014which famously and unforgettably alienises men. Its two female protagonists are, simply, a marvel of characterisation, achieved by a process of, as it were, colouring-in the area around them with such skill that the two character-shaped empty spaces left achieve utter believability. I'm not sure I can think of any other writers capable of the expert lightness of touch in a serious context required to pull it off. The point, of course, is that this presence-by-absence is exactly the (gender) theme of the story. "Women have no rights, Don, except what men allow us," says one of the women. "What women do is survive. We live by ones and twos in the chinks of your world-machine." When the mother and daughter twosome swap a masculine human world for passage on a space-ship it's presented as more of the same-old. -- /Tommy Persson

Bokbokm. imorgon tisdag 9/10
by Tommy Persson 08 Oct '07

08 Oct '07

Påminner om novellerna att läsa till bokbokmötet imorgon tisdag 9/10. En del noveller tog det lite tid för mig att ladda in men väntade man några minuter så fungerade det. Nästan alla noveller är bra och läsvärda och längden på de flesta är "short story"- eller "novelette"-längd så man kan läsa alla noveller på en kväll. Hinner man mot förmodan inte läsa alla så är man välkommen ändå men får stå ut med spoilers på det man inte hunnit läsa. En bra läsordning kan då vara i den ordning novellerna står nedan. Jag hörde inga protester mot 9/10 för bokbokmöte så vi säger så. Till bokbokmötet nästa tisdag (19.00 hemma hos mig) så läser man: 1. They're Made Out of Meat, From the collection Bears Discover Fire and Other Stories by Terry Bisson http://www.electricstory.com/stories/story.aspx?title=meat/meat ------------------------ 2. Vernor Vinge: "The Cookie Monster" http://www.ida.liu.se/~tompe/lsff-book/ ----------------------- 3. When Sysadmins Ruled the Earth Full Story by Cory Doctorow http://www.baens-universe.com/articles/When_Sysadmins_Ruled_the_Earth ------------------------------------ 4. James Tiptree, Jr.: The Women Men Don't See (F & SF, December 1973) 5. Robert F. Young: The Dandelion Girl 6. Howard Waldrop: The Ugly Chickens http://www.freesfonline.de/Home2.html http://www.ida.liu.se/~tompe/lsff-book/ -- /Tommy Persson
