Don't go to school book clubs. Even uni ones dedicated to literature courses are full of dumb fucks who love John Green and JK. Do your own research, thrive on independence.

We made a book club at my Uni (and we were mathematics' students) and it was quite patrician: Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Dick, Oe, Boris Vian, Kafka, Dostoievski, Sepulveda, Kawabata...
I guess the point is making the book club with the people you know is not shit. It's true that other "official" book clubs of the Uni were shit (or too involved in things we didn't care, like the shitty dialect that is spoken at our city).

Shit, niggers, are you blind or what? Any public club dedicated to art sucks. What did you expect, lads? NEVER get involved in those and may the bliss be upon you.

Anons. These girls. They are so EASY.

Just fucking talk some big words at them and impress them with the fact that you've read more than 3 books in the last 3 years and they'll fuck you. It's almost a sure thing, as long as you're not disgusting and/or a sperg (and even the latter can be worked around - just not the fomer, usually, because women are shallow). Stop bitching about the plebians and fuck them instead, it's a much better use of your time. College is when women look the best, you'll regret not scoring some of that primo tang when you're an old bastard who can only get with with old bitches like me

this is true. You're probably have to do more than just talk big words though unless you're very attractive.

Start your own book club where you only read literary material. See how many show up.
