Tiptree Book Club?

[ase]

Would anyone be interested in a feminist speculative fiction cbook club in the Rockville, MD area? I went to Wiscon in May, and since then I've spoken to several people who wanted to go but couldn't, and have been thinking about how I can bring some of that vibe back home. To get the ball rolling, I was thinking of pulling a couple of recent Tiptree-winning novels for group readings. (See Tiptree winners on wiki.) Lebanese Taverna Cafe at Rockville Town Center has parking and metro access within a five minute walk, among other features, so I thought it might be a good place for a monthly book club to meet. I made a poll to gague interest, but if I've left some item dear to your heart off the poll, please add a comment to this post. Most of the poll questions are designed around what is most convenient for me, and are up for revision if something else works better for most people.
