It's no secret that Science Friday has a soft spot for astronauts. We also like good writing. So how can the SciFri Book Club not read The Right Stuff -- a book about astronauts by one of our generation's best* writers?

Want to join book club? It's easy. Get your copy of The Right Stuff by Tom Wolfe and start reading. Then tune in on November 30, 2012 as we discuss the book. Call in and tell us what you thought about it, or leave a comment below.
