Would anyone be up for a Moby-Dick reading group some time this summer?

Is this going to fall apart like Infinite Summer always does?

Veeky Forums reading groups always suck

I'm down. Just say when and where.

To prevent it from falling apart, try using the litcord desu.

I literally JUST finished it today, fuck you.
Moby Dick is an illusion

I'd be down if we set a date right now.

Read it two summers ago and loved it. Read and done a lot since and would like to reread it.

Dude Greek tragedy at least for me is readable like 5-6 plays at a time but gets so overwhelming beyond that, especially with the earlier tragedians. At least Euripides has some happier endings. Good on you for reading them though; which are you done with/working on now?

Been meaning to read it, and just started Brothers Karamazov. But I can wait on Fyodor since I want to read More Dick more.

>Read it two summers ago and loved it. Read and done a lot since and would like to reread it.

Same here. It's also fairly straight-forward so I think we could generate some good discussion and it wouldn't fall apart (knock on wood).

How about July? I'm in the middle of some books I'd like to finish before tackling this bad boy once again.

My edition is roughly 730 pages. If we go at it 30-40 pages a day (which isn't a lot) we could finish it in 18-25 days, roughly.

I ordered the loa paperback the other day just waiting for it to get here. Been rereading some O'Connor stories but it should be fun.

I am in guys.

Sure. I was just thinking about rereading it anyway.

I'm in.

Cool, but howdo we go on about it?

I'm down, just ordered it

I'm in.
Just bought the book. Also it would be great if we had a discord channel.

Why not

Can you spare an invite ?

dont, its full of misogynists

I'm in

So any consensus on when we should start? How are your backlogs?

June, July, August?

im down for july

Meh, I don't care.

yeah july is good for me as well

June/July is good for me

Late June/ July

discord.gg/mqh4tKE

this is the litcord. we'll open a channel for moby dick when we figure out when we'll read it exactly.

there are several channels currently open and the glass bead game reading group will start may 26th so you can hop in for that too if you're interested.

Thank you user

Read the Bible instead

Thanks based user

the discord has too many babies in it

Maybe going by chapters would be better.

This, not everyone will be reading the same edition.

Maybe, but some chapters are really short, others longer.

I second July. Sounds like 1 July would work for a lot of people.

Alright. I'll have a look at all the chapters and try to come up with some sort of reasonable schedule and post it in a few days.

Feel free to come up with a schedule, if you want. We'll discuss the pace before it's finalized to make sure everyone is on board.

of course. the whole book is a metaphor for an extended masturbation session

Literally started to reread it last night. Only got a little way in so I will wait until this gets up and running before carrying on. Definitely up for it.

Read it two years ago and it remains my favourite book, gonna read the Collins paperback in the op with you lads

I hope so

I'm in, July is fine.

I was going to read it in July, but I'm too fast for a reading group.

We need a schedule guys.

Plan on taking mine on holiday with me, gonna be a fun two and a half months. Would the Wordsworth edition be fine? If I end up liking it a lot I'll probably buy a better edition.

Working on it. Will upload in an hour or two.

I'm not gonna read it this summer, but I'd love to eavesdrop on you

I'd love to. The only problem is I'm at page 320 in Infinite Jest. I can't finish it in time for July!

...

Wow thank you, I really needed something like this to get started

...

Good job.

Why is Moby Dick suddenly popular here?

memetic desire is real

those who think Ismael is the protagonist aren't allowed

>suddenly
There has never been a single point in time where Veeky Forums hasn't had a moby dick thread up

also, summer is right around the corner

>moby dick is a newfags book

It's a good book for newfags, honestly, because it gives them a taste of just what they're in for when they switch from reading "normal" books to proper literature. Better than fucking Infinite Jest, for example.

sure will you moby dick my asshole if i finish?

>finishing on my bday

I feel good about this

Now that you mention it...

Yeah, it's Ishmael you scrub

Although a bit long for entry level its actually a newfags book.
