Classic Science Fiction is the best and most active science fiction reading group on Yahoo. We're a serious science fiction reading and discussion group that concentrates on classicsci-fi. Generally speaking this includes novels written prior to 1980/

If you love the old science fiction, come on in and join us for the reading and discussion of these classics. We'll read both hard and soft sci-fi and discuss them as a group. We'll talk about how the literary devices the author used worked for that particular novel and whether the premises the author set up are believable. We have nominations and polls to determine which books we'll be reading and discussing for any given month. Please join us as we travel to other regions of space and time.
