Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Well, it’s between 2 of you, my previous follower and one I suspect who is itching to choose a title by a recently deceased author...

Beetroot, Wackoo? I've lost track of the acronyms!

If anyone wants to choose an Ursula Le Guin like GregP has suggested I'll definitely be on board for that :-)

Me too. Has Greppers choosinated before either being chosen to choosinate or getting the traditional choosinaters rhyme?

Oh Greppers oh Greppers
Your time it approaches
You haven’t been chosed
But your choice it encroaches
Let’s lift up our voices
Let’s sing it with Vim
Ratify your suggestion
And go with Le Guin

"Wireless enthusiast intercepts government secret radio band And uncovers secrets and scandals of deceitful type proportions. Aghast goes next door to his neighbor, secretly excited, as Aforementioned was a hunter whom radio enthusiast wanted
Friendship and favor of" - A new face in hell - The Fall

MES lyrics are like plots of books that never got written.

I just think A Wizard of Earthsea would make sense. It gets the yearly dodgy SF choice from me out of the way with minimal pain to the rest of you, and it can be the group's way of marking the passing of UKLG.

This is where he chooses a 9000 page space opera about a time travelling saxophonist. Be warned.

A Wizard of Earthsea then, if you please.

Don't tell Dougal though, as I'd rather promised him I'd choose All Systems Red (The Murderbot Diaries #1) by Martha Wells.
