This image makes me realize how dreadful bookclubs can be if done wrong. I swear these women spend 15 minutes discussing whatever YA shit they've read and the remaining five hours 45 mins either eating processed food like the whales they are, or trash-talking their husbands and whatever women haven't attended the club because they had better things to do than mingle with this filthy lowbrow group of soulless failures.

Id fuck em all except the one on the far left.
I would make them read The Book of Disquiet and see what happens.

I look at this and the cynical part of me cringes. But another part vehemently wishes I could've been an aristocrat in the 18th/19th century, discussing the poetry, plays, and literature of the day, while sipping coffee in the salon and smoking the pipe. Instead I'm the only one in my social circle even vaguely interested in philosophy and literature and I have to get my fix on boards like these. I'm sure these girls have a lot of fun discussing their books, making a nice evening out of it, drinking some wine, having some snacks. While we're posting on anonymous basket weaving forums.

good lord i'd have some fun with that girl on the far right holding the glass of wine

Lmao this is the most seethingly resentful post I’ve seen all day. Book clubs are literally social events, it’s why so many women go to them. You don’t go to a book club expecting high level Socratic dialogues. Your autism is very much on display. Lighten up nigga

Anon, be grateful that you post here. We are exploring a new medium, the anonymous forum, that will define literature in the 21st century. Anthropologists will look back on the Warosu and hail the brilliance and wittiness of our shitposts.

ayup. To be fair, if you bring on the Socratic dialogue they will probably think you're cool, just don't expect much

I haven’t read Moby Dick in years let’s read that. They’ll like the homoeroticism at least even if they get filtered by the veto logo and philosophy chapters.

You’re delusional if you believe this. This forum and the civilization that enabled it will “disappear without a trace”.

Kind of missing my bookclub now

i've got just the work in mind

>>15071867
infinite jest but a girls tenis academy, essentially just infinite jest's "Uh even at the top ennui reins kind" but an added layer of resentment from below the top being women who are not on the same level of recognition as the mens tennis creating a deeper pit of desperation. also you could fuck with the weather but give it no exterior meaning save for it's relation to the corporate future calendar

Most of the ladies in this pic are probably kind and sincere enough to take seriously whatever you recommend. As long you don’t sperg out and don’t suggest something stupid, you could recommend something new and accesible to them which they will be thankful for. Chads will see this as an opportunity

Quite genuinely I'd pick one of my favorite books just to see if anyone else appreciates it as much as I do. Probably Stoner or On Being Blue

Confederacy of Dunces.

Decline of the West

>>15071627
I wish that were true but it isn't

anyone who thinks the people and the activity pictured are anything but awesome is absolutely hopeless. I organized a book club my senior year of college and it was one of the best things I've ever done. I also looked up the book they're reading (THE RED TENT) and it actually sounds pretty interesting. I saw someone else post ANNA KARENINA, which is my favorite book, but I don't think I'd want to introduce myself by recommending something so long. I think I'd go with THE DEATH OF IVAN ILYICH, because it's another book dealing with religious themes and is pleasingly short.

>>15071904
Kek. I love that post. Based son.

>>15075703
are you referring to Spengler? I think you have to have read Nietzsche's entire oeuvre to really get at what Spengler is trying to say. I also have a hard time believing anyone other than academics reads this one the whole way through. I'm about halfway done and have gotten a lot of valuable insights...but man is it a thick one

Source?

>>15075747
Idk. I haven't gotten my copy yet but it seems pretty straightforward to me. At least the cyclic view of history and lifespan of nations

>>15075780

it calls on a close familiarity with nietzsche and a sprawling knowledge of world history. I literally picked the below passage at random. Just know that it's a seriously tough read.

---

Vignola and Giacomo Delia Porta and the creation by Ignatius Loyola of the
Order that stands for the pure and abstract will of the Church, 1 just as there is
between the invisible operations and the unlimited range of the Order and the
arts of Calculus and Fugue.

Henceforward, then, the reader will not be shocked if we speak of a Baroque,
and even of a Jesuit, style in psychology, mathematics, and pure physics. The form-
language of dynamics, which puts the energetic contrast of capacity and inten-
sity in place of the volitionless somatic contrast of material and form, is one
common to all the mind-creations of those centuries.

>>15075847
Why do writers feel the need to be so convoluted. No wonder everyone's retarded now, smart people cant be straightforward.

Let me know when you need me to slow down and wait for you, but I'll be getting started as soon as we adjourn.

>>15077472
Technically four novels, anon. I'm not sure that's admissible.

The Magic Mountain would be more than enough.

>Top left (grey/brown top)
For sure.

>In front of the picture
I guess. Although she has a slightly annoying Gwyneth Paltrow vibe.

>To her right, colourful top
Sure. Some Eastern European genes in there? She would be a generous and uncomplicated lover.

>Seated, grey top, jeans
She looks like a farmer's wife and not in a good way. Also, don't stick your dick in ginger.

>Beige top, black trousers, pendant necklace thingy
Obviously. Best in the room. She looks a bit like Hilary Hahn and that's a very good thing.

>Red top, red wine
Eek.

>Central, holding the book
She might be OK if she didn't have such terrible taste in literature.

>White top
Obviously. She's a cutie and she knows it. The little minx.

>Striped top
Sure. She looks as though her conversation would be banal. But she wouldn't be doing much talking.

>Dark top, jeans, kneeling (maybe)
She looks cheery. If it's "good-humoured cheery" rather than "mocking cheery", we could reach a meeting of the minds.

Nah, it's in a single binding. I pick this book.
And next week we'll begin with the Collected Shakespeare :^)

Because it's an actual bookclub, not a publicity photo specifically designed not to draw attention to it by cunts like you
I don't have anything against niggers or spics or whatever, but the world isn't like your twitter safespace, and guys in drag going outside into the real world get beaten to a pulp and left to die in the gutter rather than yelling about muh pronouns

People who cry on reddit about how others dont respect them is always the funniest shit to me. Of course no one respects you when youre 44 years old and still have to rely on strangers to make life decisions for you.

I jokingly told my mum to read Blood Meridian at her bookclub and she said they already did The Road and that was enough Cormac McCarthy for them

American Psycho, I've been meaning to give that another reading.

>>15071199
Such a terrifying picture. Imagine them forcing you to undress and touch yourself in front of them. Horrifying, honestly.

God I wish chicks actually liked domming dudes irl.
I mean they already do it subtly but they could totally do it with spankings and orgasm denial and talk about it with their friends.
