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.

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.

Next week is 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with her whether she thought the 3 wizards were composites of the Maiar or just specifically Gandalf and how he used historical references very cleverly throughout the book.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.

For 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.

I 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
