Hello all,
My son introduced me to this webpage a few weeks ago and I thought I would start using it. He's turning 17 soon and has always loved reading. His father's always been a big reader too! I'm probably an old duck here and I was wondering what books you boys are reading nowadays. Thanks for the responses!
Margaret

Hello Margret!
It’s wonderful to meet you, and I’m proud to have the honour of being the first to welcome you to our little online community. Occasionally we call our literature club a ‘mongolian weaving board’, we use a lot of strange and wacky slang like that but if you see it don’t feel daunted, simply keep coming back and you’ll be ‘redpilled’ on our lingo (or memes, as we call them) soon enough!
Recently I’ve been reading a wonderful little book called “culture of critique”. It’s all about how a rascally little tribe of provocateurs and insiders has taken western society by the reigns, and is steering it into total destruction. Quite the gripping read, and you’d hardly believe it’s nonfiction!
Anyways I hope you are having a wonderful day! Your son is a great poster and contributer to our little circlejerk (that’s another one of our memes :) ), and its a pleasure to have him and his mother with us.
Best,
Frank

First try to keep your son off till he's 18. This place is restricted for mature adults. Place has far too many "Jezebels"

Secondly; welcome. The boys around here are interested in a wide variety of literature. ancient Greeks and later classics to modern drivel like David Foster Wallas, and a few, very loud, bible enthusiasts.

What have you been reading lately?

Hello Margaret
I'm glad to hear that your son is interested in reading and i'm sure he'll grow up to make you proud! However, i feel i must inform you that, being only 17, he is breaking one of the rules of this webpage. It clearly states that you must be over 18 years of age to post here, so i would strongly encourage you to prevent your son from visiting here by using the parental controls available from your internet service provider. I'm sure you wouldn't want your son to be exposed to certain adult content before he is ready to properly handle it. I hope you understand our concern.
Sincerely, Anonymous.
p.s. Has your son developed any strange political or social views over the last 3 years?

Hi Margaret, I just wanted to drop in and also welcome you. I've been reading The Republic by Plato. It's the foundational work of western philosophical and political thought - and can you believe that it isn't even hard to understand? Good writing I guess! What are you reading right now?

Plato, really? You boys are so clever. I'm a little lax with reading lately, but I love mystery. Agathe Christie is a treasure.

Margaret I going to be honest with you. Leave this site and never return and tell your son to follow suit. This motherfucker >>12558523 is trying to recommend an anti-semite book. Your son is too young and naive to be browsing this website. It will ruin him as much as it will ruin this board quality.

Tell him to start with the Greeks.
