Wow! The goodreads group requests were much more than I expected (11). We are still looking for members and welcome all applicants at: goodreads.com/group/show/195303-lit-club
This time lets work on finding a place to chat and figure out more about group readings -- which is a subject I brought up last time, and I hope that we make progress in this thread.
I joined, just have to be accepted. Excuse me if I am a huge pleb, I just started getting into books this year and I haven't read much due to being busy.
Joseph Peterson
when are you guys doing Infinite Jest?
Jose Murphy
I just asked for approval to join. Trying out this whole Goodreads thing for the first time since making an account maybe a year ago.
Cooper Taylor
Master pleb here coming through. I'll probably join too, hopefully that way I can stay focused on one book
Julian Ramirez
what are you reading
Hunter Carter
dunno yet. what do you want to read?
anybody here interesting in helping on the non-goodreads site for our club.
Sebastian Roberts
anyone know where i can free ssh shells?
Jack Cooper
going through sdf, going to set up forums and a mailing list.
anyone here know about implementing goodreads ratings into bbs forums, im sure theres an api but
Gavin Wood
created a link button while i wait till morning so i can pay for the server.
Gavin Ortiz
Why do you need to do all that?
Brandon Richardson
because I feel like it
Julian Rodriguez
Fair enough, sounds ambitious though seeing how active this group will likely be. Surely the goodreads functions would be fine as they are
Elijah Fisher
yeah but I just like doing projects
Levi Richardson
I'll join, but this really isn't going to go anywhere.
Isaiah Roberts
Props to you then Looking forward to us agreeing to a group reading soon
Dylan Robinson
Where would the group reading conversations take place? Is it a meme book club? Will >we read pomo?
Easton Flores
I'm on the Goodreads app and I can't find a join button. What do.
Brody Collins
nice digits my friend
Wait until you have access to a laptop, the group ain't that active atm anyway
Dominic Jackson
Will this actually lead anywhere ? I don't want to join if it doesn't tbqh.
Logan Hughes
I sent in the payment for the server so I can set up a proper webpage for this. Should we start a chat?
It would be nice if it did
nice trips
We will read books and talk about books, the books will be decided by the club and not just by one person so we don't just read >porno
Jace Cox
Prob not, throughout my time here i've been in goodreads clubs, steam clubs, clubs that used threads, even one that had a sticky. To be honest, there was ran by some very dedicated guy that was focused on reading the Western canon, he also had a language learning club for Greek at the same time. This one was pretty good. All others were lacking in discussion.
Bentley Turner
>To be honest, there was ran by some very dedicated guy that was focused on reading the Western canon, he also had a language learning club for Greek at the same time
Even that died very quickly though and even those threads had little discussion either.
Eli Murphy
Why not just use something like discord to talk?
Daniel Watson
Would you like there to be a discord?
Isaiah Turner
When will we start group readings?
Blake Smith
Fuck off Dell
Mason Morales
Why does this guy read so many shit book?
Also, Andy has fucking terrible taste. He gives three stars to absolute GOATs and 5 stars to fucking Pynchon and Nabokov.
>If you think your 1 through 5 star judgments are worthy of mention, you're a pleb. They are, unless you have illiterate friends. I have added people with similar interests to gr, and we often coincide in many ratings. I find this useful to find new books to read using others gr accounts, looking for 5-star books of people who share my interests.
Charles Brown
Ya, I don't see how that's relevant.
John James
woah calm down man
Michael Hall
I'm not the samefag, this is my first post itt. Why make these assumptions?
I mean I partially agree, but when you get to the point where "I don't take people with an average review score of 3.6 or above seriously" or infer other like judgments from an arithmetic average you may very well have gleaned nothing from books since you're evaluating people on so such shallow bases.
"Oh cool so you like Gravity's Rainbow" is entirely different.
Landon Perez
allowing new members in right now
Luis Ross
I hate the Veeky Forums club. If I want to see pretentious shit about babby's first how-to-look-intelligent literature I come here.
I just made the account in june and have barely updated it since, the og point of the club is to get me to update my goodreads more
Levi Morgan
Don't know if this is the right thread to ask a random question, but hope you will help Veeky Forums guy.
Girlfriend loves Dostoyevsky - says that she likes analysis of human nature (she is a psychology graduate). Got her Hunger by Knut and she also enjoyed it. Question: books similar to Dostoyevsky, Knut?
Thank you.
Blake Allen
Give her more Knut. Drop the brothers K, I'll give mine to her.
Grayson Fisher
She has read all (probably) Dostoyevsky and most of the Russians. I am looking for new authors.
Luke Martin
i was just telling you i'll cum on her if you want. Have her read the rest of Hamsun, especially Growth of the Soil. Maybe ship her Beckett and Bernhard as a start.
Levi Williams
Stendhal
Leo Butler
If we're going this horribly misguided direction, Henry James too.
Jack Brooks
Hi I'm Niko and I'm an alcoholic.
Justin Morgan
The bigger question is, why do most people have like 100~ books read at most? I thought i was with fellow patricians here.
Bentley Butler
>uses DFW as group icon >OP literally has 1 review
