I've always wanted to read Ulysses so I'll vote for that.

Put down the paper and get an e-Reader. What, is this the fucking stone age?

A book a week would work, right? Maybe 2 weeks, if 1 week is too short.

@115,788 (Voice of !WisdomHsuU)
Well, if you want to read it off an ebook that works too.

Okay; after reading Ulysses for 15 minutes I've decided to redact my earlier endorsement. The book is too tedious to be read for fun in a book club. Does anyone else have a suggestion?

Somehow I doubt that would work out. Dubliners might be easier.

Sure I'm fine with infinite jest. I'm kind of already in the middle of reading 4 books though so I might be a little behind the rest of you guys in the book club.

Just read a description, it looks like an interesting book.

Infinite Jest.

Does 1 week work for everyone, or should we make that two?

nimj replied with this 15 years ago, 1 minute later, 2 hours after the original post[^] [v] #115,860

@previous (A)
1 week until we start or one week for the whole book? It's a huge fucking book

Oh wow.

When can everyone get the book? I have a kindle, so I can get it today.

Maybe we can 3-5 chapters a week, or something like that.

nimj replied with this 15 years ago, 3 minutes later, 2 hours after the original post[^] [v] #115,865

@previous (A)
The chapters are odd, so I say we go by pages.

Alright I'll see if I can do that. :|
I think maybe a Skype group conference thing (or MSN group conference thing) would be a better place to discuss the book.

Over 1,000 pages...? Oh jebus. What about something from this thread.

Anonymous L joined in and replied with this 15 years ago, 1 hour later, 4 hours after the original post[^] [v] #115,940

We have some good suggestions. What if we start a poll to decide on something to read or sticky a notice if there's enough interest? It could be fun.

@115,940 (L)

Can we get a sticky please there seems to be a genuine interest. I think one week is too short, but I also think that we should start on a smaller book. Just to break us in?
