In the case of the Science Fiction Club, not only is the announcement for the last meeting instead of the next one, which is on Thursday, April 10 at 9 p.m. Eastern, 6 p.m. Pacific, but it also has the book listed that was discussed at the February meeting. I think, but am not positive, that the next Fantasy Club meeting is on Saturday, April 12 at noon Eastern, 9 a.m. Pacific.
Anyway, the book for the Fantasy Club is Nine Princes in Amber by Roger Zelazny. Fortunately, it's a short one. The book for the next Science Fiction Club is Higher Education by Charles Sheffield and Jerry Pournelle, which is also fairly short. Both of those are on Bookshare. You can find the Zelazny one in The Great Book of Amber, which contains all ten Amber novels in one fat volume.
I don't know what's going on with the announcements on that site, but it's a bit disappointing. This would not seem the way to do it if we want to get more people to show up.

Hi all,I hate to complain, really I do, but I have a problem. I went to the Book Clubs page on the Friends web site and was looking for the Science Fiction Book Club announcement for next time. I discovered that there *is* no announcement for the next book for the Science Fiction Book Club. I also discovered that the announcement for the Fantasy Book Club is the one for the March Meeting which has already taken place.I don't know if anyone else is seeking info on what book is being read by the two clubs I mentioned, but I think the facilitators of the book clubs may need to be reminded that the sooner you get your announcement out to the public, the sooner people will be able to get the info they need in order to start reading the book that has been chosen.Bottom line, I can't remember what book I'm supposed to be reading for the Science Fiction Club. I'm sorry, I should have written it down, but I didn't.Ann P. -- Ann K.
