B.O. OP EDIT: VIEW THE /LIT/PENDIUM HERE - https://mega.nz/folder/ThhnnayI#T30OHb3sHifcmVzLlnkYZgToday begins a new chapter into the /lit/club. I made a fateful mistake by choosing the subject for the first nomination (Book Published 2 Years Ago) because of those bastards at the FBI. There are different resources vying for the vacancy filled by such a great site and I found one called
annas-archive.org which indexes a bunch of shadow sites.
Anyways without more stalling tactics. I present the list for this season and the nomination:
World of Wondershttps://annas-archive.org/md5/fce03919d0c018a1334ff83aa0790a7eThank you everyone as usual and I look forward to your tastes.
ANIMAL PLANET is the next theme, books centered around animal characters and their environment.

I've been on a Twin Peaks kick the past few weeks and have always wanted to read The Tibetan Book of the Dead. This is a text that has an explanation and the actual text too.

FRENCH ARMS, WAR, AND GENOCIDE IN RWANDA by MEL MCNULTY and
DREAM STORY by Arthur Schnitzler are the winners.

https://annas-archive.org/md5/99e2b59ab83377c3836ecb5b76bffd2aFor Dream Story it's the book that Stanley Kubrick used for Eyes Wide Shut.
I added in
PRETTIES by Scott Westerfield for an anon that wanted to see if he was worth it. Unfortunately for him it wasn't nominated.
I have to say, The Tunnel is going to be in my top 3 right now, what a perfect book and synthesis of some of my thoughts, a better Roth if you will.
Your Friends Favourite Books is next. You don't have any friends? That's ok, you can wait till next time…

ULYSSES by James Joyce
https://annas-archive.org/md5/02b7dcc56da0ede03ce2220805457bebTHE SUN ALSO RISES by Ernest Hemingway
https://annas-archive.org/md5/b4dfad3e301a0685884004b64681fb5bTHE HOUR OF THE STAR by Clarice Lispector
https://annas-archive.org/md5/4b7b2cc0efa9178ec65767ab3be827b0I knew Ulysses would be in there but I was surprised by Hemingway and the lady.
I haven't read Ulysses yet but I am unsure if it can be read to it's fullest in Epub format.
Dream Story was pretty good, I was surprised how much of it is in Eyes Wide Shut and how faithful of an adaptation it was. Pretty much every scene in the book I pictured in the film and it lost some of its magic for me but I also gained some new found appreciation. It must feel like winning the lottery to have your slightly above average work layered into something greater by a third party.
No.5346
ULYSSES is the winner. It's a book I felt you need the hardcopy to read but we will see. It's also supposed to be a hard book to read so I don't know if having a guide is something that would be useful to have.
https://annas-archive.org/md5/02b7dcc56da0ede03ce2220805457bebDOGGOREL is next, which is a genre I am unfamiliar with but I like the band Electric Six and maybe that's what it reminded me of.
Ulysses is, I'm assuming, long, ergo, I think, it will be some weeks before the next one.
No.5350
It's not going well, I am struggling to get frame of references or themes going into this blind. I'm also reading much slower than normal. I'm 10 percent done, I would have liked to be 20-25% by the end of the week but it's unlikely.
I know not a lot post in here but if anyone has any recommended further reading for Ulysses let me know

It's the novel that Werckmeister Harmonies was based off of and I believe we read another Kraznahorkai "SEIBO THERE BELOW" which I found was Kino.

I've never actually read it, but Yann Martel was my neighbour growing up and my sister did the paperclip challenge in Elementary school and went around trying to trade up and she knocked on his door offering some ballcap and he gave her a signed copy of Life of Pi.
My dad did some plumbing in his house circa late 1990s and his wife was addicted to playing slots, which was a moment of losing my childhood innocence since I didn't understand what that was all about.
Long story short, I assume he moved at this point, I did.
