Bookcees Book Club

[oats]

so far we got myself, Bags, uh-oh, Witty, Diode, and PancakeBrah. of course it's open to any and all comers. here's how it'll work.

members will rotate choosing a book per month to read. everyone reads it, drops a response in the thread at the end of the month etc, CULTUREDNESS OF NC GOES THROUGH THE ROOF.

I was thinking of including a maximum length to make it more feasible for the dadcees crew, IE no Infinite Jest or some shit. 400 page maximum work, or do you guys think it's unnecessary?

as for when we want to start, the energy is good now, but I also don't mind waiting until 2018 to kick it off. down with what the people decide.

most importantly, do we wanna spell Club with a K? IE Klub? Makes it more unique and, dare I say, kool. think about it.

[PancakeBrah]

Down to start whenever.

[uh-oh]

agreed

is it possible to nominate someone to choose a book when its your turn THO

one of the main reasons i don't read more is my indecisiveness on picking something to actually read lol. i'll read whatever one of you guys pick. or just put me last in the rotation so i have time to find something i might be interested in recommending

but word im ready whenever for it to start

[oats]

order is whatever to me, so if anyone wants to go later or earlier, we can make it happen. trick is to just read something YOU want to read and not care too much if others will or won't be interested. that way you end up getting exposed to a bunch of stuff that you otherwise may not have. start looking now. might sound corny, but I'd recommend signing up for goodreads. good way to track shit and learn about new books. just go goodreads dot com.

[Ghost1]

In this book klub

Let's start now

[Ghost1]

An I'm on good reads....I don't track my books there yet just out of laziness

...but is it just me or are the book reviews there a bit negative lol

[big baby]

uh no fucka off lmao not in book klub... idiyote lmao

[big baby]

bb in

[oats]

Bags I agree. I think a lot of bookish types feel a sense of validation from having generally low ratings. I think my average rating is close to a 4. edit: can't find you on it tho, bags.

looks like the energy is good to start now. I know uh-oh wants to go last, anyone want to go first?
Diode would it be helpful for you to go first or nah?

[Ghost1]

Hm I'll have to log in an see what's what....I'll get back to you on THAT

[2tripple0]

[Pakistani Hand Cannon]

yeah yeah

im down

[oats]

aite so we got Rugged big baby Bags uh-oh Witty Diode PancakeBrah but obviously anyone can participate, silently or otherwise.

unless we'd rather have the first book finished by the end of October, I'll pick a book of manageable length for September since we're already a week in.

SEPTEMBER BOOK: Between the World and Me by Ta-Nehisi Coates

Godspeed, bookcees.

[Do Not Reply]

Count me in

Can we try to stay away from reading books in a series? I have horrible commitment issues.

[oats]

Do Not Reply people can choose whatever they want, but it's a single book per month, so I'm doubtful there will be a shared effort to pick series books.
Bags you're on deck for October.

[Eŋg]

throw me in for next month, too.

[oats]

throw me in for next month, too.

[oats]

But word im going to hate this book. Ill plow through it THO

Lol it was the shortest book on my to-read list. But regardless of how you feel about the content itself, read it for its quality of expression/writing, and at the very least it's a good exercise in seeing a different perspective.


In other news, chili dog homes.

[Inno]

Why not put me for next game coach.

[Warthog Lite]

Cause your not a chili dog holmes

[Vulgar]

In but only if the curriculum consists of chili dogs and Vikings.

I'm interested but will mostly be a spectator. I think I have the Coates book, haven't read it either. Will see if timeslotz open up.

[oats]

Just had a 10 hour flight, nearly finished it. Would have if I hadn't have taken a Valium and knocked the fuck out.

[Pinot Grij]

Witty YDK

[YDK]

Y'all are the best

[PancakeBrah]

Read his article on reparations awhile back. Will pick this up tomorrow.

He's doing/did the most recent Black Panther comic series.

[oats]

I still haven't gotten around the the reparations piece, but his most recent essay "The First White President" was tremendous.

[uh-oh]
