Title: GH book club?
Post by: tp4tissue on Thu, 05 March 2015, 18:24:48

Update:



Votes..


We're reading 1984..  From today. March 12, 2015..  2 weeks..

I don't think this book is that long, I remember I didn't pick it during middle school, but the book itself was small..

Been re-reading ASOIAF while phone has been broken. On 3rd book and still as awesome as ever. I've got the book 'The Road' I've always wanted to read but never got round to it. Want to at some point reason The Hunger Games as well.

Glissbro advised me to read Enders Game as well as he said it's great. I used to love reading and since smart phones (I know it's my own fault) I've just gone to slack and browse Reddit and ****.

The Road, and many other books by McCarthy are a fantastic read.  I would highly recommend reading No Country for Old Men too!

Nope...because I like my porn with sex.

This would be my reason for taking part as well. Would give me a reason to read something other than a textbook every now and then.

Ok cool.. It seems people are interested..

So.. let's start with some suggestions..

I'm eyeing, Yakuza Moon_ Memoirs of a Gangster's Daughter  by.. Shoko Tendo..

Synopsis:   Born into a wealthy family of a Yakuza Boss, Shoko delineates her turbulent life with a string of abusive lovers and her surreal struggles.


I think we should keep to "shorter" books.. because it takes a really long time to read leviathan class books as a group.

I'll read Fifty Shades of Grey, only because then I can give a good critique of it :P

If we don't do that, how about "1984" I've never read it, but I heard it is good.

I just found it to be incredibly boring. Most of the people that suggest it are the "I'm very smart" type. I just personally didn't care for it. Or brave new world.

If we do Asimov, might as well start with Foundation. I've always meant to read it.

I also suggest Red Mars by Kim Stanley Robinson. Been meaning to read that one also.

Anything by William Gibson. Probably Neuromancer would be a great place to start.

Neal Stephenson's Snow Crash.

1984 and 1Q84 would both be good. It's somewhat helpful to have read 1984 going into 1Q84, but not absolutely necessary.

11/22/63 by Stephen King.


I'll think of more suggestions later.

in the dystopic genre Brave New World makes 1984 look like Zamyatin's "We." They're all good but BNW is the pinnacle: save yourself the time and just head there straight away.

If you want the literary equivalent of a train wreck : i mean something you seriously can't put down because the author is blowing every moral and ethical buffer in your ****ing brain then read "Juliette" or "Justine" by the Marquis de Sade. seriously. there is really nothing else like him in any bookstore. and don't you dare say "Well, what about 'Candide?'" Why? Because compared to MdS, Voltaire isn't Disney; he's even more innocent and naive than that. In comparison, MdS makes Voltaire sound like Yo Gabba Gabba.
