OK. Thanks for letting us know.

You're welcome.

I think we pretty much wrapped the thread up. Good talk.
>>
>>24736906
Not so fast.

>>24736908
>another autist
We are way over our quota but I hear /diy/ is looking.
>>
>>24736910
>autist
Objectively untrue. How does it feel always being wrong?
>>
>>24736913
>my autism proves I am objective
Can't argue with that.
>>
>>24736917
I am not autistic. Presenting information in an organized way is not autistic, it's just smart. Grow up.
>>
>>24736918
>can't into banter
>not even when anonymous
Not judging, just saying.
>>
What was your favorite fiction you read this year?

Honestly, I enjoyed Casino Royale more than I had expected.

I know you're being ironic, but there's nothing wrong with sharing your yearly reads in this format. If you're making a video about it, I think there might be a problem.

>>24737158
What's the book group category meant to be?
>>
>>24736913
You're on 4chan dude, you have autism
>>24737022
Are the animorph books any good (for what they are)? I always just thought the covers were funny. Anyone who says don't judge a book by its cover has never seen an animorph book.
>>
>>24737285
if I've read a book for my book group, I put who chose it. We take turns choosing. ftr I'm up next and I'm going to make them read As I Lay Dying

>>24737292
theyre unironically the single best childrens book series, every time i read them i get something new out of it. lots of philosophical questions and chances to ask yourself what is the best thing to do
if you do read them know its a bit slow at the start, it kicks up at about book 5 or so
>>
>>24737022
Was Corndog zen worth the read?
>>
>>24738740
It might have been if I could talk about it without be accused of being Wallace but can't really say. If you like 4chan autism, absolutely worth reading, if not, probably not.
>>
>>24738740
the other anon isnt me, but yeah sure. it was short (maybe 4 hours?) and it was something new
i didnt go in with high hopes but honestly it wasnt even that bad. its pretty evenly split between really good parts and really bad parts. while i was reading it i would see a sentence that seemed to be written by some 10 year old esl but then the next sentence was really good and all was forgiven
its a comedy at the end of the day (whether wallace would agree or not). he also posted an updated version (>>24738154) that apparently fixed some "poorly written sentences" but i read the old version so i cant comment if he fixed it or not
