For our first book, we will read:

The Grave Diggers: A Grave Diggers Series by Chris Fritschi

> In an apocalyptic world ravaged by zombies, a powerful secret organization called The Ring threatens to destroy what's left of the country, and the only ones who know it's happening is a team of misfit soldiers.

> But these misfits are untrained, unprepared, and outnumbered. Their only hope is their leader, Jack Tate, a disillusioned, broken-down ex-Delta operator. When The Ring nearly kills Tate and his team in an ambush, it ignites the sleeping fighter within him and now he's coming for them.

Dammit. I was hoping we could read "Hopeless Obsession" as the first book.

I think it's "Anonymous A," his pen name.

The Suicide King (The Grave Diggers Book 2) is the second up on the list, but I'll consider your suggestion for our third book if you tell me the author name.

Never heard of him. Can you link to the Amazon listing?

It is a listing here. See, Anonymous A is referring to a Minichanner who write actual books, and the names sound similar, so he is obsessively referring to that Minichanner. I know you will play dumb, but all sane, non-autistic people can see that you are hopelessly obsessed and have no life outside of this Minichanner.

OK. I honestly have no clue what you're on about, but since you seem so invested in that book and feel so passionately about it, how about you lead the discussions when we get to it?

As I predicted, you are playing dumb. God, you have such a sad life.

You seem to be getting agitated. Do you want to lead the discussion of that book or not? Because if you don't, I'd rather we'd discuss "Matt Miller in the Colonies: Book Two: Journeyman" by Mark J. Rose as our third book.

Just pitiful. I cannot imagine revolving my life around a stranger from a chan. Have you considered therapy?

You seem very confused. I have a rich and fulfilling life with multiple careers spanning multiple continents and decades. Book clubs are not "revolving [one's] life around a stranger". Sorry to disappoint.

I'm reading 2000 Leagues Under the Sea.

It's like 20000 Leagues Under the Sea but I gave up a tenth of the way through the book lol. But seriously I am a quarter of the way through it, it's OK but the author likes to bore the reader with tedious descriptions of the sea creatures in their Latin names. As for the other book, I'll be honest I read around 1 page and it didn't grip me. I shall endeavour to read it after 20000 leagues though or maybe read a page of it a day.

For the other book, let us know how it is if you ever pick it up again. I'm actually thinking about buying it, but the author has a history of stalking people for literally decades all across the internet, so I'm naturally a little hesitant in purchasing it since I'm not sure if Amazon will reveal my address to him.

One of the next books I plan to read is The Brothers Karamazov. I liked "Notes from the underground" by the same author. Notes from the underground is a short, fun read. Despite it being written in 1864, it describes to a T the psychology of many people today and the depths they fall with their internet addictions. In fact, it almost seems like it was written to describe the internal thoughts of the author of the other book we've been talking about. If the main character in The Notes were an author, and if it included samples from his novel, I suspect it'd read something like the other book which we've been speaking of.

I sometimes wonder if the aforementioned author is always in character as something like the guy in The Notes. Kind of like in the movie The Prestige. Sadly (for him), I think that's not the case.

👍 thanks. Is that what you did? I haven't used Amazon locker before. Won't my name still be revealed?

But I—I stared at him with spite and hatred and so it went on ... for several years! My resentment grew even deeper with years. At first I began making stealthy inquiries about this officer. It was difficult for me to do so, for I knew no one. But one day I heard someone shout his surname in the street as I was following him at a distance, as though I were tied to him—and so I learnt his surname. Another time I followed him to his flat, and for ten kopecks learned from the porter where he lived, on which storey, whether he lived alone or with others, and so on—in fact, everything one could learn from a porter.

I have made it my pledge to read a few pages before reading 20000 leagues. It seems gory so far (the other book, not 20000 leagues).

*As well as reading 20000 leagues. 20000 leagues is pretty good.
