I would love to sign up, but there's no many translation of english alternate history, and at my knowledge not at all translation of non-english alternate history...
For instance, the only text ever translated in french of Turtledove was about a short participation in a book on how Lord of the Rings inspired authors.
You can sign me, but I don't know if I would be able to participate.
Well, if there are any months in which are able to participate, please feel welcome to do so! (I'm not sure how many French-speakers there are on these boards, but if there are enough of them, perhaps the club could read and discuss a French work at some point.)
I'm still hilariously badly-read in published AH. Part of that is these boards, where every major author is heaped with scorn regularly by disgruntled fanboys. This club would give me a reason to really dive into something. Count me in.
Glad to have you! Hopefully we can find some worthwhile elements in most of what we read here...
I might join some months. I'll second He Walked Around the Horses, and throw in Guns of the South and For Want of a Nail. (I've read all those three already.)
Excellent, I'll add the latter two to the list. I figure pretty much everyone may end up joining some months or not others--so if anyone can't find the book, or the time to read it, or whatnot, don't sweat it too much.
I'm thinking at the moment that we should do "He Walked Around The Horses" as a trial run, since it's a short story and easily available--we can read it and get some discussion rolling while at the same time deciding on the book for September. How does that sound to people?
