Rdrama Book Club proposal and nominations thread :marseyreading:

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 :marsey300:

One I haven’t read yet, but would like to nominate is Kafka’s The Metamorphosis, is short and looks interesting (literal bugman lmao).

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.

Je suis d’accord. Les dramacels doivent apprendre plus de langues.

It'll either teach them French or make them Bonapartists

Just called "Stalingrad" by Beevor. Great for a chuckle. Paulus man. Not a page goes by where you don't laugh and say "Oh they're fricked!"
