i'm thinking of starting an online book clubi'm thinking:notes from the underground - dostoevsky moravagine - cendrarshunger - hamsunle sang noir - guillouxjourney to the end of the night - célinecrime and punishment - dostoevsky no longer human - dazaiwhat else should i add that's in a similar vein??what ties these together is misanthropic ressentiment
o i almost forgotatomised - houellebecqthough i'm not sure about that one
>>24747281>online book clubyes these are called "forums"
>>24747308i was thinking more of organizing it via discord
im reading crime and punishment, im at 220/540 pagesim doing it for school work, i dont get why its such a great booksure muh exceptional people theory, but to me it just seems like dostoevski is really shaken up about his experience witj his death sentence being removedit seems interesting as if it was a movie its better than most books i read at school but its all constant suffering then (yes i spoiled myself the last few chapters so i didnt get an F) mc marries a prostitutet. 18
>>24747325Try writing using proper grammar next time, faggot. This is a literature board.
>>24747281>>24747311In my experience you need quality people for this stuff. Try hanging around in literature servers (as insufferable they may be) and DM the users who actually have original thoughts to contribute. If you want to do voice calls to discuss books you MUST be in the same region as other users, it just does not work otherwise.And remember to gatekeep as hard as possible. >>24747325I think it's the least interesting among Dostoevsky's great novels but I read it for the first time when I was 16 and it impressed me greatly.The "great man theory amoralism" bullshit was boring as hell but Raskolnikov's descent into madness was so satisfying (the delusion, the terror, the ironic tension). And then the demonic Svidrigailov and the distant hope of salvation through Sonya... Good stuff.Also it's very funny, all of Dostoevsky's books are tragicomedies and the Russian humour lands every time.
>>24747281moravagine - cendrarsle sang noir - guillouxQRD on these two?
>>24747838the former is an anti-humanist work lambasting psychiatry never read the latter
>>24747405>And remember to gatekeep as hard as possible.of course
incel book club
>>24748504Gatekeeping doesn't work when you are reading the same slop everyone else is. If you wanted to gatekeep your thoughts on these works you'd just not talk about them with others.Also, replace Dosto with Nabokov if you want to read good books for a change.
