December's Sci-Fi Book: 'Walking to Aldebaran' by Adrian Tchaikovsky

Join us for December's sci-fi book club meetup to discuss 'Walking to Aldebaran' by Adrian Tchaikovsky. Our meetings start loosely, hanging out with new and old friends while everyone arrives. After most people arrive, there are introductions and the main group discussion about the book. As that runs out of steam, everyone drifts into whatever groups and topics make them happy. We are meeting at [Koelbel Library](https://arapahoelibraries.org/locations/ko/). We have 'Meeting Room C' reserved, which is found at the back of the library's cafe. It has sofas, easy chairs, and a variety of tables with stools. This one is on Saturday, so the library cafe will be open for the first hour. "Light snacks and covered drinks" are also allowed in the space but alcohol is not. I usually bring one variety of small snacks and friends often bring more. The library closes at 5 PM. There is a nice patio area to linger outside when the weather is nice. If there are a few people who would like to carry on after the library closes, there are many restaurants we can shift to. \~\~\~\~\~\~ The poll for January's book will be posted here after the November meeting. This is the linked pdf of all our previous polls and selections: [Previous Poll Info](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1j_6nuG_uDEotsLzxOV8ZUvsuvSIsLacl/view) Can't wait to see you all! \\Please update your RSVP if you change your plans about attending.\\ \~\~\~\~\~\~ December's book description: 'Walking to Aldebaran' by Adrian Tchaikovsky (2019) - 144 pages I'M LOST.

I dreamed astronaut, I worked astronaut, I studied astronaut. I got lucky; when a probe exploring the Oort Cloud found a strange alien rock and an international team of scientists was put together to go and look at it, I made the draw. *I…
