I like the idea of starting a thread for each book. That would make it easier to navigate as we go along, rather than have a huge thread with all these book discussions.
In the meantime, I have
Prelude to Foundation coming in from the library over the next couple of days, I'm thinking of maybe setting a date for when I'll start the discussion thread. Maybe April 1st?

Yeah, I think especially if it's a series like the Asimov (and let's face it, much of this genre works in trilogies and more).
I don't see the harm in getting started in a series and unfolding each thread as people read on. I'm just not sure about getting ahead too far on multiple books though. I'd like to be as inclusive as possible for the discussions. Perhaps we could set it up as something concurrently for reading (like one science fiction and one fantasy at the same time...plus people could choose whether they want to do one or the other, or both).
I dunno. But this is good. Keep throwing out ideas and we'll see what people want to do.
