Agora Road book club

[shinobu]

I've had this book in my to read list for a while, and it kind of resonates with the values of Agora Road so I'll propose it

The Dream Machine by M. Mitchell Waldrop

 

[ghermann]

I'd be interested in joining. My suggestions are:
Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy
Neuromancer by William Gibson
Sympathy For The Devil by Kent Anderson
1984 by George Orwell

I'll throw in mine, I think it will resonate with at least a few people here: Zen And The Art of Motorcycle Maintenance

I'd be interested in joining. My suggestions are:
Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy
Neuromancer by William Gibson
Sympathy For The Devil by Kent Anderson
1984 by George Orwell

I'd love to read blood meridian for a third time lmaoo (unironically tho)

Surprised to see 1984 so much in here, I think that's the one that's probably gonna win most votes....

I think we already got enough people to start doing suggestions! So, just leave whatever you might want us to read and we'll do a votation on what we should read! Again, everything from fanfictions, light novels, non-fiction, and literature go. I'm even okay with comics or visual novels.

>Implying visual novels are art.

We could also just work our way through a canon, the /lit/ looks pretty good to me but we could use whatever else you guys want really. Here is /lit/s top 100 2020 novels for reference. I had the 2021 version saved somewhere but I'm too lazy to dig through my phone image gallery to find it lol.

I recommend The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath. It's a <100 page book so perfect to start off. @Junious recently read it at my recommendation and said it was "an incredibly compelling read". I also re-read it recently, it's just excellent. Plus a great mix between philosophy, theology, adventure, fantasy, and horror. Can't think of a more well-rounded book as far as this club goes.

Yeah I'm game. You goobers just decide what we're reading aight.

I vouch for T. S Eliot. I love his poetry, I dont care if I dont understand its themes or whateverthefuckma, he is great and his words roll off so wonderfully.

I also love T.S Elliot. But his poetry felt a bit too elevated for our first read lol. But I'll def add him to the next one
