Electric Velocipede editor John Klima writes:
I’ve created—with the help of Christopher Rowe, Mark Teppo, and William Shunn—the Gene Wolfe Book Club. Our reasoning is that while the “Solar Cycle” books are fun to read on their own, discussing them with other people greatly enhances your reading. We also know that this book club is ambitious, but if we all pull together, I think we can do it. Even if you aren’t able to commit to all 12 books, but want to partake in the discussion, please come over and chat; the more the merrier.
The books are:
The Book of the New Sun
     comprised of The Shadow of the Torturer
     The Claw of the Conciliator
     The Sword of the Lictor
     The Citadel of the Autarch
The Urth of the New Sun
The Book of the Long Sun
     comprised of Nightside of the Long Sun
     Lake of the Long Sun
     Caldé of the Long Sun
     Exodus from the Long Sun
The Book of the Short Sun
     comprised of Blue’s Waters
     In Green’s Jungles
     Return to the Whorl
These books are dense and complicated and full of mysteries and things to discover. And at 12 books, that means one a month, which I think is an attainable goal.
We’ll open discussion of each book on the 20th of the month in which it’s due. We’re reading The Shadow of the Torturer right now. As of January 20, the discussion will begin in earnest. Just thought you’d be interested in this.
