These are your options faggots! Of which of these shall we begin; this is a democracy after all? We will gather every Wednesday to discuss the assigned reading. There will be no excuses for not reading. So start deleting your porn cache most lickety-split and blocking all time wasting aspects of your life, cause the consequences will be most severe.

Since I don't care to learn how to interpret a book of allegory, I have to say nay.
>>19664392
I don't really care to read a book of poems. Never could get into the Bible, or the Iliad. But chiefly, my hesitance in saying yay to this request, is that that book club would be over with pretty quick, for it's just a book.

Yeah, I have no quarrel with either of those. This was indeed an honest attempt to get people to read together. I know I said faggots, and some people take that as open invitation to troll. I also have no problem with reading religious texts or studies of them, or poetry. But I will shit on something that someone suggest that I haven't read, if they do the same to me. Cause I know for a fact the only book that people have read that I suggested, that they could honestly speak about and say it's shit, is The Scarlet Letter. And frankly, I don't want those people, people that give brain dead ego fluffing hot takes, here. But as for the poll, I'm an idiot and don't know how to do one. I could learn, but if someone else wants to save some time and do it, it would be much appreciated.

You can see the votes for yourself. If people want to read the runner-up next time, we can do that, or any number of things. I'm open to all sorts of ideas. We also haven't talked about how long we'll spend on a book. I don't know if it would be better for some people, due to having to have a book shipped to them, that maybe once a week isn't ideal.

>>19666297
if we can read ulysses grant why can’t we read works by donald trump and the obama dynasty? both Obama and Trump were commanders in chief, so actually they commanded far larger and more advanced armies than Ulysses Grant did. I would go as far as saying that you could learn a lot more about winning from the three books I suggested than from reading your book, as obama and trump (alive) have both won things more recently than grant (dead)
