Post a book.

Call out a name or call out a whole list.

The names called need to read that book.

Multiple names edition: people always complain about their supposedly common names like Ahmed and Toshio not being called out so let's take out as many /lit/izens as we can.

Noah should begin reading the Russians.

Most of the books I read are historical, but the one I was reading (Istanbul: The Imperial City by Freely) reads like bullet points. It's mind numbingly repetitive. I can only assume it was made for stacks to subtly brag how "cultured" one is. How are you liking Osman's?
