We're having a /lit/ meetup in Boston this Saturday.

Email bostonliterature at gmail if you're interested & I'll give you the place & time.

>Why?

If you've been to university organizations, reading groups, or hung out in a cafe up here, you've noticed the stifling eggshell-walking culture. And also that no one reads /lit/ books.

>What?

Something in the vein of Ben Franklin's Junto, Emerson's Transcendental Club. Discussion, critique, &c.

I'd love to attend but sadly I'm not going to alter my flights or arrange new flights just for that. I'd definitely be down for a california meetup.

A problem strikes me in that I don't actually read much of what /lit/ likes. Mainly japanese light novels and some sci-fi. So while I'd love to listen to people talk about /lit/, I couldn't actually contribute much.

OP you might get better results if you also proposed a book for discussion, something that a motivated person could read through between now and Saturday. Anything under 300 pages would be reasonable I imagine.

I've applied to like ten places in Barre, Ware, and North Brookfield: I either get no response or answer. Also, they're literal crackheads, I like to call them bug people.

I'm guessing you're younger in in college. By the time you're 30, reading books is a waste of time and life is dictated by making choices in face of scarcity. It's genuinely so disappointing, that reading books seems like a total joke. I used to humor people like you but if you went on ill just tell you point blank I don't read and I don't care. I can't even fake it about sports ball anymore. Why should I bother reading or doing anything whenever surviving another week or month is the only priority?

Hey Chuds, remember when Boston was a decent Anglo-Saxon Protestant town, and then the runt of Ireland washed up on our shores in rags and with their hands out begging for our nation to clothe and keep them?
