    I'll be posting the selection at some point today.

    Do we read like 3 chapters at a time then discuss?

    It'll depend I guess on size/complexity of the book, but that's a good baseline.

    I'd like to read Ulysses one day.

    But probably not today.

    If we read Ulysses I will bow out because I read it once and I do not need to be doing that again.

    Hello, team? Are you there? Did the ghost of James Joyce get everyone? I'm sorry.

    I should have been there to save you.

    A magician gives you a ring that, when worn, will let you see the world as it truly is.
    However, the ring will never leave your finger, and you will be unable to ever describe to another living person what you see.

    I would be the first person in line to lock James Joyce's ghost away in a hellish purgatory container that can be mistaken for a nuclear reactor.

    Could be worse. Could be Lord Byron.

    I enjoyed Dublin when I went there.

    And I unironically think Joyce is one of the greatest writers in the English language!

    But I hate reading his shit and probably always will!

    Raijn should I start an insurrection

    It's a good idea but if you don't want to manage it I'm sure someone is willing to take a hit for the team

    I've read Das Kapital 3 times for 3 different classes in the last 3 years

    I'm fucking done with Karl Marx

    ironically I just picked up a new book by Anwar Shaikh called Capitalism that is a reimagining of a lot of economic theory and is pretty good, but totally over the head of most people here I think given its technicalness

    I have never been more nervous about a contest between werewolf romance and hard boiled detectives in my entire life.

    edit: seriously though in like 3 minutes i'm just going to pick from the tied 1st places based on which book is cheapest.

    edit 2: Alright, well. OK then. I guess the die is cast. I'll start up a new thread so that Raijin doesn't have to edit the thread title every time. This is democracy people. Werewolf Romance. I'll post it as soon as I get the go ahead from the management.
