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.

Plague Dogs wins but it might have been cheating since its a last minute nomination. I will allow the reader to choose Watership Down if they so choose because it was the only true nomination. That being said Ive already read it, so Plague Dogs for me.

EROTIC, if I can't whack off while reading it, I dont want it.
Also, The Plague Dogs was pretty good, loved the poetry and alternate ending to the movie and much more fleshed out characters. Would've liked the dog pov more often and maybe a little more nuance but worth the read. Watership Down is a little more fleshed out.

I met a couple going to a Tolkien conference or some shit as attendees and I was able to dab on the boyfriend by asking if either had read Roverrun and to his chagrin, he had not but his girlfriend had. So naturally I discussed with her whether she thought the 3 wizards were composites of the Maiar or just specifically Gandalf and how he used historical references very cleverly throughout the book. She lapped it up so I asked what their favourite books were and she said the Simarillion and he said Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. What an asshole couple.

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.

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.

https://annas-archive.org/md5/97a3983fa7c5538ea67d03436db5d19b No.5635
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/md5/97a3983fa7c5538ea67d03436db5d19bIn 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.

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.
