"ROCKET SUMMER" is a month-long reading event taking place in July where the goal is to read works of CLASSIC SCIENCE FICTION.
The month is focused in the following way:
Week 1: The Beginnings of SF in the 19th Century through 1939
Week 2: SF from 1940 through 1949
Week 3: SF from 1950 through 1959
Week 4: SF from 1960 through 1969.
In this video, I discuss some possibilities for the first week.
