Hello readers of r/bangtan!

Our guys have really great taste in books and it’s always tough to pick the book I want to vote for every month! We had two books that were neck and neck up until the end of the voting period but one pulled ahead toward the end. You voted and the book we’ll be reading for September is…


Stories of Your Life and Others by Ted Chiang

Stories of Your Life and Others delivers dual delights of the very, very strange and the heartbreakingly familiar, often presenting characters who must confront sudden change-the inevitable rise of automatons or the appearance of aliens-with some sense of normalcy. With sharp intelligence and humor, Chiang examines what it means to be alive in a world marked by uncertainty, but also by beauty and wonder. An award-winning collection from one of today’s most lauded writers.
