Thoughts on having a rdrama weekly book club?
We could have a nomination thread to propose the books, then a voting thread with the most upmarseyd proposals from the previous thread to decide it. Just an idea, I’m not a janny so I don’t know how to create voting threads, maybe the /h/lit mods can do it.
Anyways, if this happens I nominate The Iliad. I read it last year, but is one of those books I would read again, no problem, and is so dramatic and probably very fun to discuss 
One I haven’t read yet, but would like to nominate is Kafka’s The Metamorphosis, is short and looks interesting (literal bugman lmao).

The novel is great, Houellebecq is kind of a coomer, but he can write an engaging thought provoking story. Now that I think about it a book club o. That one would be really fun, especially the final chapters.

I found a pdf for Master and Margarita. I don’t know which translation of The Metamorphosis is the best one.
This is a Russian Book, so I think I’ll read a translation on my native tongue instead of English, that’s from a catalogue of a nearby bookstore.

Submission just because Houllebec sneeding about muzzies is funny
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
I loved that book. But he doesn’t sneed at muzzies.At the end France becomes an Islamic Country and the middle aged coomer protagonist finds some meaning in life by converting and practicing polygamy. The frogs don’t even fight back, they just let it happen because god forbids that r-slur Marine Le Pen from becoming President So is more of a social commentary and criticism of secularism.

I'm down, but I'm not reading The Iliad again. Book clubs work better when the book wasn't written before Jesus was born. How about a nice light romance novel or scifi thriller? We can drink wine and gab about it.
Unironically tho in light of Russias great success, I nominate a russian book: "The Master and Margarita"

Sounds like fun, I would do it. I would like to nominate the The Hedge Knight by George R.R. mainly because I am rereading asoiaf for the 5th time. Its also a shorter book and lighter which may be good to start off with.

I just finished a book on Stalingrad but I guess there's no more Russian civil war so it's not topical anymore. Working through "From Dawn to Decadence" by Barzun slowly. Also going through an ArcGIS book.
So we should read the "Description of Egypt" in its original French, or "The General in His Labyrinth" because I love Bolivar.
