Readercon, "the con that assigns homework," has selected Kay Kenyon's Bright of the Sky
as one of four books they are urging all attendees to read pre-convention. The other three books are Ironside by Holly Black, Generation Loss by Elizabeth Hand and Blindsight by Peter Watts. These books will be the focus of discussion in a series of 30-minute author talks called "How I Wrote[Novel Title]."Readercon began today, running July 5-8, at the Burlington Marriott in Burlington, Massachusetts. Wish I were there!
I *so* wish I could attend ReaderCon. Alas, I don't even live in driving distance...but that's so cool that they have a suggested reading list! I've been eyeing Kenyon's book for a while, but just haven't picked it up yet...
ReplyDeleteI have never attended Readercon though it's been recommended to me highly many times. I think I must attend next year...
ReplyDeleteCertainly, this news goes along way to confirming the oft-expressed-to-me opinion that Readercon is a READER con.
From Readercon: This is turning out to be a Very cool con. First indicator: a lively Thursday night session with an auditorium full of people giving two-line raves for their favorite book, many of them obscure and quirky. People tucked into hotel sofas, noses in books. Very cool.
ReplyDeleteOkay, I am so there next year. Can't wait to hear about it. And Dave Edelman emailed me to say he's having a ball too.
