>A Scanner Darkly
Dick is weirdly obsessed with nipples for some reason. Anyway, other than the prose which book have been your favourite?

Monthly reading anon here, nice data you've compiled. I'll put some of it in the pastebin.

>Is this representative of /sffg/?
I feel like the age distribution is typical for /sffg/, as there's generally some skepticism in regards to newer works. The fact that there's more sci-fi than fantasy is somewhat atypical. I think it is because of the format, fantasy books have a tendency to be doorstoppers which I actively discourage.

>the purpose of the monthly book
I started doing monthly reading at a time when there were quite some bitching about the lack of discussion about books in the threads, with the goal of forcing some more discussion. I feel like it have been at least partially successful, especially when we read a more well known work that several people have likely already read.

>Are there any issues you'd want to see addressed?
While I've been positively surprised by the distribution of age and theme in the books selected I would like to see even more variety. This is the reason behind theme months, something we're not testing with September being short story month.

The download is slightly faulty, some r:s are replaced with n:s resulting in in misspellings like Jenny instead of Jerry.
