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 forgot if I nominated this, I forgot why I did if that is so, but I believe I wanted to read a WoW novel so Illidian and Battlechasers comic are my picks

ILLIDIAN wins. Hope your brushed up on your WoW lore…
http://annas-archive.org/md5/37c5a12b1124ecc298bd8564b0a098a4Next week is IS THE BOOK BETTER THAN THE FILM any novel that has been filmed at some point no matter how obscure.
RIMBAUD was a devastating read, that I don't think much fiction could even beat in terms of bleakness.
No.5658
Slow month so far, reading Snow Crash atm.
No.5666
>>5658Strangely, Snow Crash is starting to attract a backlash such as Starship Troopers, I've been seeing a lot of feminists and left-winger faggots hating the book.
No.5672
>>5666Re-reading Neuromancer again after almost 12 years. So far, I'm enjoying it more than the first time. From a 3/5 I think this time around I'll give it a 4/5
No.5679
I'm only 50 percent done what a mess! Pretty kino so far, don't like skipping over parts in the story it's lazy writing and don't like some of the emotions explanation like betraying it's repetitive
No.5702
Coming in clutch at the last minute.
Things looking dire for next season but there's no way we attract any new posters so that's all there is to it.
I'll be able to come up with some nominations but I don't expect much otherwise.
I've learned and read a lot so I'm happy and appreciate all the input over the last 3-4 threads.
Without further ado:

The one I was least excited for
OIL! by Upton Sinclair wins
http://annas-archive.gs/md5/809746db7848a07fa003fb480ae13da4TIE-IN WITH FILM CLUB will be the last of the season, even if it's just me nominating I'll continue for now, it keeps me in check. But don't be surprised if I start incorporating things I want to read more and more. You can get real schizophrenic with how it related to film club.
ILLIDIAN was a great stroll down memory lane. He did a decent job tying the whole expansion all together and really helped me understand the lore. He skipped random parts too much and he has a style of writing where he made the characters doubt what the others were saying as exposition pieces which got tiring because it happened too often. All in all, it made me seek out my online friend who I used to play WoW with and I think he killed himself or something because he's gone without a trace which depressed me because I brushed him off and told him war is hell when he said he wanted to volunteer to fight Ukraine (he's Belarusian)

UNDERWORLD by
DON DELILLO is our new book to read. I'm reading it with some friends and it's kind of what's screwed up my book process because they have been putting books in for me to read. So I apologize you are like my wife and they are like my hot new girlfriend I'm cheating on you with (no homo). It's a cool book I'm assuming in the vein of Ulysses. It's also long so we will say 3-4 weeks.
https://annas-archive.org/md5/0ddd73b85abbbee9df6c62b998875c49ANIMAL PROTAGANIST is next, if I get other nomination themes I'll incorporate them like previous years and we will jump back on schedule

FLUSH by Virginia WOOLF (what a fursona) is the winner! Underworld is a very good novel but Pynchon does it better. Pretty encompassing and beautifully phrased but still basic themes but the references to Odyssey and Ulysses are pretty crazy and make you schizophrenic trying to piece them all together. A cool read worth the time.
We will do
CHRISTMAS next to get it out the way. I'll even allow Kwanzaa to participate.
FLUSH:
https://annas-archive.org/md5/2faa96ca3e5b0fbdb158b480aa9d053eThis is my first Virginia Woolf and I'm a little nervous to start on something so probably gay
No.5901
Looks like I'm spared the trouble of reading A Christmas Carol once more, better luck next year….
A CHRISTMAS MEMORY is the winner.
FLUSH was good albeit repetitive, it seems Woolf may have been an anti Semite which is good but she was also raped and not sure I am about used goods like that.
MISANTHROPIC is next, so get out your hatred and let's go in 2 weeks.
A CHRISTMAS MEMORYhttps://annas-archive.org/md5/bf869debfb8be2323c6bc7bf2362fab9 No.5932
2 more weeks, I didn't read any this week
No.5948
No nominations but I had a few,
Hunger and Growth of the Soil by Knut Hamsun, I previously read Pan and enjoyed it immensely. My Struggle by not Hitler and The Alberta Trilogy which might have been good. See attached:
THE GROWTH OF THE SOIL BY KNUT HAMSUNhttps://annas-archive.org/md5/2457c9cfc10be8aa5074a6845409775bNext time is
Fan FictionAnd that Moran Trilogy was absolute kino, highly recommended to anyone, never read a more thorough book.
No.5973
Found a reading groove also I'm the only one here:.
Barbie X Dracula fanfiction
https://archiveofourown.org/works/23236681Is the winnerNext week it's
CONVICT CODEX No.5979
I have to admit that in all these years I have never participated in the club once, even though I have returned to reading as my main hobby in 2023.
Anda WTF is CONVICT CODEX?
No.6004
Lol I forgot it's been a month.
Gates of Janus wins, next time its a
Chinese Modern Novel. I may have nominated this, I used to work with a pervert and in between raping women, he moonlit google translating Chinese novels and making them his own. This is part of my aspiration to live like him. If it wasn't me that nominated this, what a coincidence!

RED DUST by Ma Jiang is the winner. Allegedly a slant eyed beatnik novel
https://annas-archive.org/md5/b3652e1dd4b17e88e22b73adff6899a3Was really hoping with 4chan down we could a snagged another user or two, oh well.
Gates of Janus was good and informative. I really enjoyed Ian Brady and wish he could have wrote more, though he was a little repetitive like De Sade.
BASED on a true story is next, guess I'll have to nominate my diary desu
No.6089
It's been 2-3 weeks since I finished and I keep forgetting on Sunday to post, it's dropped down to me but maybe the internet historians will pick this up on day and I'll be on a future BuzzFeed equivalent site but I'd have to go another 10 years or sumfin
I don't care for this times category so
Shackletons Boat Journey is the winner
https://annas-archive.org/md5/24c8c60f69ad3cdc6c9315a9e1183dc8Next time's theme is
PRESIDENTIAL/WHORLD LEADER MEMOIR Barack Obama here we come!
No.6128
Reading the book really showed me how much I had been groomed as a teen and props to them they really hit most of the notes. Like how I watched The Godfather for the first time, and I was able to recollect pretty much every scene as it happened through osmosis.
Secondly, rebuilding a Nation is crazy and it's ok that Hitler was addicted to meth, it's just so much work.
My nominations are going to be (and drawn thereafter)
The Age of Anxiety:A Baroque Eclogue
Reign of Quantity and Sign of the Times
Men Among the Ruins
Glad to see we got some contributions to the thread it's been mighty lonesome
