80's MOVIES & book nominations
So.... our 80's movies that we'll discuss sometime mid-month are:
The Princess Bride & Labyrinth
Just a reminder, we have a free chatroom here which is open to anyone who wants to use it to coordinate watching at the same time or just to randomly chat.

Oh, and the goal of having more than one is to give you OPTIONS. You can pick one or the other or watch both -- it's all good.
Next up... BOOKS!
List up to four science-fiction books and I'll do the same (pick out the 2 or 3 most popular choices).
I know there are a lot of series out there. Everything seems to be a series lately. I don't know if that's good or bad - but if you're choosing something in a series, I think it's best to start with the first of a series?? What do you think?
Also, if it's widely published and available in various formats, that'd be useful for those who might have a harder time getting their hands on something.

DUNE! Did you ever read his book The White Plague? I remember being shocked and angry yet really liking the book (I read it SO long ago, I don't remember - and I think it might be worth revisiting)

I remember seeing The White Plague kicking around the house when I was a kid (my father doesn't believe in libraries, so we had a lot of SF books), but I don't think I ever read it. It does look interesting--I should look it up.
*resists urge to tack on a half-dozen more book suggestions*
ETA: Have you ever read that book/novella where aliens make all the men disappear? And won't tell the women why? Completely different from The Gate to Women's Country, but also kind of interesting. ETA2: Found it! Men Are Trouble by James Patrick Kelly. He has a sequel out too which I just bought; haven't read it yet.
