It's good, a lot of people say it's their favorite. I personally prefer Killing Commendatore and Colorless, Both maintain a more "real" story and don't get tooo magical. If you haven't checked out some of the short story compilations the elephant vanishes is awesome too.

We should start our own weekly thread in /u/slackernews with the SICP club. Lectures are available online, so we should focus on discussing exercises and projects. What do you think?

I've actually already read the book, but I've never looked at the exercises. It might be fun to phrase it as a weekly programming challenge

80s book about the world ending via nukes and a slightly-mutated-human (it takes place way after the apocalypse) driving around the country and killing the commies who took over after the bombs fell. he's basically rambo. always getting the drop on the COMMIE OCCUPYING SCUM (and weird mutant beasts) and becoming a folk hero the americans and the boogeyman to the russians.
anyone who suggest some SERIOUS LITERARY NOVEL should be banned from the community.
edit: i just realized i posted out of the ashes twice like a DINGUS. i fixed the second link to be the completely different in every way book.

The Gambler by Dostoevsky since the main character is not only a goomler but a simp too, so maybe dramatards could learn to be less like that.

Book clubs don't work well here. First, most users will suggest dumb old shit or incredibly niche nonfiction(
) and then won't read it. But even if you actually pick a book people will read, 90% fall off after week 2. And then it feels like there's no point discussing it so the people who actually read the book will just post a meme and/or marsey comment.

I'm a bookcel and never did book clubs, simply because I want to work on my own backlog and not add other peoples' suggestions onto it.

I think that's good enough - at least you get interesting suggestions of books to keep in your radar. I personally wouldn't have considered Master and Margarita if not for /u/neoconshill driving the book club

My nominations are:
1. Fallout Equestia - needs no explanation
2. Harrison Bergeron - it's a short story (2200 words) available for free online and written simply so people (
) might actually read it and participate. It's very topical and pretty funny too.

nibba it's 2200 words, you can reread it in 10 minutes. it's relevant to modern politics, and it's the only fricking thing that anyone will read because no one is going to read a full book for the rdrama book club and it'll peter out and die after like 4 threads getting 5 responses (4 of which are
if anything you should restrict all book club entries to stories with <10k words. Make it so that the nominations for the next week and the book club posts are all in the same thread, do a new short story every week.
