Thinking of reading The Epic of Gilgamesh.

Has /lit/ read it? Opinions?

>> No.3607167

It was the second choic of /lit's read-along last year. Read it, it's fun.

It's great. Some days I think it is the only story ever written that was worth reading.

How often does /lit do these communal board activities?

We have tried twice and failed twice. There was also a summer reading of Infinite Jest.

There is a /lit/ goodreads group if you want to join that. It's way too much social interaction with these retards for me, but some people seem to enjoy it.

It would be a lot better if people would respond intelligently to what they read. Most of the time they just say "I like it" or "I don't like it."

We had this stickied, and then the mod abandoned us. We started the second read along - Epic of Gilgamesh - while the first was still stickied, then someone rigged the votes for the third and it all collapsed.

I caused that feel.

That's a shame - if it worked it seems like it would be a nice focal point for collective discussion.
