So far we have:

Count me in. My vote for the first round goes to invisible cities, since I and a few others want to read it, but my pick for later rounds would be Fathers and Sons by Turgenev (if y'all haven't read it yet)

^^Yeah I've read that one and didn't like it, but I forget why.

Edit: Recorded my thoughts on it on MB actually, just seemed old fashioned I guess.

Omg fookin fight me, it's magnificent

Btw, I thought the idea was more to motivate us to read things we haven't yet. You've read it recently or you would read it again because you like it so much?

I read it quite a long time ago so I'd like to read it again at some point, but the main reason I picked it was that I think of it now and then when I'm on MB, what with all the nihilism and all. So I'm curious about MB members' thoughts on it.

I'd like to read Invisible Cities so I'm not going to even rec a book. I thought it was a perfect first book.

why does a book club mean they tell you what book to read?

you go to a strip club there's a variety of strippers

you go to a gay club there's a variety of gays

you go to a book club and they tell you what book to read and then judge the way you interpret it

Except no one here REALLY gives a f***.

Bring on the books!
