SF books that will change your life

Meeting on Thursday

I'd like to remind everyone that we will be meeting Thursday night at 6 pm. We may have two new people join us so leave all weapons at home. Remember to bring something to read and it doesn't have to be something you wrote.

Check out this photograph I scanned from the back of a book cover today. For some reason it cracks me up.
For those that like to draw

You know how Google has those Google Doodles around each holiday season? They are sponsoring a contest for K-12 students. They want you to make a doodle on the theme of "What if..." You can see the rules here. It looks like it's geared toward teachers but take a gander at it anyway.
