B.O. OP EDIT: VIEW THE /LIT/PENDIUM HERE - https://mega.nz/folder/ThhnnayI#T30OHb3sHifcmVzLlnkYZg

Today 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 Wonders
https://annas-archive.org/md5/fce03919d0c018a1334ff83aa0790a7e

Thank 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.

The Melancholy of Resistance wins

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.

Checking the last time I posted to start a week off it was 2 months, my apologies.

Utopian/Dystopian is next perhaps I nominated this perhaps it was someone else.

PETER PAN THE 19TH CENTURY NEET WINS. Tis relatively short so if you want to pair a second go for it. Werckmeister Harmonies and The Melancholy of Resistance were way different, I think I preferred the book. The FALSE FLAG is a really digestible way for normalfags to digest but alas no normalfag would read this shit. Fun ending too, which if you don't want to read the whole thing you can start from there.

PHILOSOPHY IS NEXT WHATEVER THAT MEANS TO YOU AS LONG AS I CAN LEARN SOMETHING !!!

If you are gonna read one, Peter Pan is it. I don't know why Alice in Wonderland is popular this was better.

Easter was a good time to finish this book. I don't know if I read the right one but I read a rabbi explain this interpretation. It was good and I can use the arguments presented to dab on atheists.

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.

Medea in itself was pretty polarizing for me. On one hand, Im happy she goes to extremes because I like that stuff, on the other was it justified. I'd say so. I enjoyed it the most out of the selections and am glad to have read Eurepedies finally.

It was not that good of a list to be honest and all your criticisms are valid.
L'Etranger wins, I was kind of hoping for Virginia Woolf but what can you do. It's about time I read this classic.

Last week's book was funny at times, I liked to imagine it remastered as a post modern classic like a few chapters in The Pale King or something or anecdotes in a Kurt Vonnegut novel.

DRUM TAPS wins, since there was no other nominations and it's the one I wanted to post. The Stranger was very short but good. I said it was a nice nihilist novel but my friend made a counter point it's just semantics and I didn't get it but we haven't discussed it in depth yet. I thought it was gonna be a very complex novel but it wasn't bad. Drum Taps contains a poem I really found inspiring and I want to reread it.

THE COMPLETE WORKS OF ARTHUR RIMBAUD wins. A fun fact, this has been a to read on my list since April 1st, 2016.
https://annas-archive.org/md5/97a3983fa7c5538ea67d03436db5d19b
In regards to Drum Taps, my favourite entry is:
As toilsome I wander'd Virginia's woods,
To the music of rustling leaves kick'd by my feet, (for 'twas autumn,)
I mark'd at the foot of a tree the grave of a soldier;
Mortally wounded he and buried on the retreat, (easily all could I
understand,)
The halt of a mid-day hour, when up! no time to lose-yet this sign
left,
On a tablet scrawl'd and nail'd on the tree by the grave,
Bold, cautious, true, and my loving comrade.
Long, long I muse, then on my way go wandering,
Many a changeful season to follow, and many a scene of life,
Yet at times through changeful season and scene, abrupt, alone, or in
the crowded street,
Comes before me the unknown soldier's grave, comes the inscription
rude in Virginia's woods,
Bold, cautious, true, and my loving comrade.

But my memory was that the last line repeated but for the next person who fell and he read the sign again, signifying that each person who falls in combat is the same rather than the one instance but I think at the end of the day it means exactly that: Bold, cautious, true, and my loving comrade

NEXT THEME IS VIDYA GAMES leaving it open to the imagination there. Also, the season is almost over. There's probably less than 5 of us but oh well. I'll keep going. I want to eventually read the novel post by post and recontribute.

Things looking dire for next season but there's no way we attract any new posters so that's all there is to it.

TIE-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.

ANIMAL PROTAGANIST is next, if I get other nomination themes I'll incorporate them like previous years and we will jump back on schedule
