Submission + - Decent book clubs for SciFi nuts? 2
willyhill writes: "I'm a SciFi and Fantasy book nut, but in the last few years I've found it more and more difficult to find the time to read. Contrary to what most people would think, I actually have a hard time finding books, rather than cuddling up with them. In reality, I don't have time to dick around at my local Barnes & Noble and browse books, and I find it dicey and expensive to do the same at Amazon or other online retailers.
I was looking at a magazine the other day and I found an advert for the Science Fiction Book Club . While my experience with CD clubs and the like in the past has not been entirely positive, I was prepared to give it a shot given the fact that it would be less expensive than Amazon in the long run. The problem was that their selection is not exactly grand. Having read the Simmons Hyperion Cantos for example, I was ready to give Ilium a go, but I could only find its sequel.
How do other Slashdot readers get their hands on SciFi books? I tried Googling for book clubs and the like but there's too much static out there, mostly caused by Oprah. Any suggestions would be appreciated!"
