Cloaca du jour

We should start a geek club book club

Recommended Posts

American Gods would be a good pick to start with.

 

We can read and chat about the book. Might even raise the bar around this joint with something besides trump bashing.

 

Just my .02

 

I know a place that has digital copies <wink>

Unlikely... Democrats can't read (or read things with big words in them) so they will continue to bash the President...

Or someone recommend a completely sh1tty book. But I'd actually read with y'all. I know some mongoloids here can't read though

Im in if we can pick fiction. Nonfiction is little tough to find books a majority would be interested in learning more about.

No focking nicholas sparks books.

Suggestions from the NY Times Best Sellers List:

Fiction

#2 The Black Book by James Patterson and David Ellis. 4 weeks on the list. After a raid on a brothel that serviced Chicago's elite, the madam's black book has disappeared.

#6 Norse Mythology By Neil Gaiman, 11 weeks on the list. A retelling of Norse folklore.

#10 A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles, 23 weeks on the list. A Russian count undergoes 30 years of house arrest.

 

That Grisham novel sounds interesting (according to Amazon), I'd read it.

I'm a sucker for mythologies. That Norse mythology is it like a story being told that incorporates the mythology or is it a retelling of thof myrhologies?

The Martian was a phenomenal read. The one thing I wish the movie had done was the storm at the end however. I understand gutting a lot of the science and tinkering time that Watney had to do, but the adrenaline rush of him trying to get to Ares 4 while knowing that storm was coming was a pretty big omission.

Stephen King IT :dunno:

The part where the girl had sex with all the boys to bring them together was weird.

I just finished Baseball Dads, and I read Rogue Lawyer a few months ago.

 

I'm up for pretty much any fiction except for fantasies, or imaginary world type sh!t.

What does a book club do? Do we read a certain number of chapters and then discuss together? Is everyone reading at their own speed and just talking about whatever? How is this gonna work?

I'm in if you only include medical journals, picture books and scratch-and-sniff.

What about peer reviewed journals? Cause those are the only ones I read and approve of
