Three months into the Challenge and I just finished my third book:

Where Late the Sweet Birds Sang, by Kate Wilhelm, also read by 4 others in the Challenge.  It fulfills one of the books in the SF Mistressworks list (as well as the Locus SF award for the 12 awards in 12 months challenge).

It was an interesting book, which explores the meaning individuality.

Set in a post-apocalyptic world where fertility basically stopped, it is the story of a group of scientists in a fairly isolated valley who implemented cloning, as a way of continuing the human race.  Interesting concepts, and while I haven't yet written a review, I will.  (I need my six).

OK, on to my next book: Ringworld, by Larry Niven.  It is Sci Fi Masterwork novel.  Tried t start this novel many years ago, but this time I will actually read it.
