Danglars is a spiritual boomer
>>85077412Frankenstein was surprisingly runner-up, so maybe after we finish Monte Cristo we could move onto that. Or hold another vote. Not sure.
>>85077412How long do we have to read the book? Are we reading like a chapter per day, per /bcg/ post or what?
>reading the entirety of count of monte cristo for a 4chan book clubthe fuck. voters were trolling you.
>>85077435I feel like a 1000+ page book is a bad choice for a book club on a board that doesn't particularly care for reading in general.I remember when /lit/ did its Don Quixote read-along in 2022, by the end barely anyone was participating.
>>85077448>1400 pages is too muchLitlet
Why was Horton Hears a Who not a poll option?
>Looks up the book online to see for free download>AI spoilered the entire thing including plot and endingThanks, it was duckduckgo that fucked me too.
>>85077459i'm reading the anatomy of melancholy right now. but if a 4channer asked me to do it, i wouldn't. fuck that
>>85077531>i'm doing it myself but if someone told me to i wouldntok bruh
>>85077412>/bcg/Are you the same anon from last year? I remember the name being different, stopbeingretarded or something like that.
>>85077531do you have pathological demand avoidance?
>>85077448>>85077454The vote wasn't my idea. Someone else suggested it, and I did it. So what, hold another vote? Frankenstein had 4 votes. Read that instead? Like what do we do here? Or just read monte cristo?
>>85077606No, I'm someone else, sorry.>>85077442Not sure. It'd be nice to get some feedback from you guys. I don't want to determine everything myself. We're supposed to be a group. What do you think?Whatever the most comfortable rate is, i guess. one chapter per general post isn't bad, but a little tight for some.
>>85077432No he isn't dumbass. are we reading the same book ?
>>85077639Boomers aren't greedy jealous retards?
>>85077608yes, any sentiment i voice is actually some pathology or mental illness or psychological tendency some 1900s jew talked about. die.
>>85077448>he cant read wordsthis is pathetic.
>>85077700>racism outside bvery nice! good job.
>>85077622Well, I'm not actually sure how often. Since this thread was made like 2 hours ago and almost about to be archived and I'm not sure how many threads will be made but assuming it's a /bcg/ per day or less often then a chapter per thread doesn't seem that hard of a task. I'll start reading it tonight.
>>85077622There was a robot book club last year. It lasted from September to December, I think. There were a few dozens of us at first but the number quickly went down. The OP always edited a new pic of the current author to insert his waifu for every new thread lelWell, good luck to you with this. How often will you be making threads? Weekly?
>>85078594>>85078729It may be per day or so currently. There's a good bit of activity, and well at least 20 votes, but nobody can take over during the early hours when I am sleeping. So it goes to die.Otherwise, nice bit of activity.Last thread lasted longer though for some reason.What did you guys read in the previous club?
>>85077680some of them arent
>>85077601You didn't even try with that response. Why are you ragebaiting?
>>85077412Why the fuck did the book spent 100 pages talking about this nigga Dantes? How is he related to the Count?
>>85080631It was a different (better) time.
>>85080631It establishes why The Count has a bone to pick with the three antagonists, he's really pissed off that people willing to frame innocent men exist.
>>>/lit/ Would be better for you.
>>85080953Cry about it.>>85080909An unfortunate part of humanity.
>>85077432He wouldn't be if they didn't lose a day and a half on Elba.
>>85077412I didn't know we had a reading club in here. And such a nice coincidence that (You) voted for one of my favorite books. I was going to read something else but I can pick The Count of Montecristo right now.Anyway, to the anons complaining about it being a long book, it didn't felt like such for me and I kept going through it constantly once the Count starts to put his plans into motion. One of my favorite parts is when Danglars manages to escape prison and his skills as a swimmer and sailor come back to him like not a single day had passed between that moment and getting incarcerated almost two decades before. Definitely a good recommendation to keep reading, even if the club moves onto another book.
>>85077412wanted to start rreading, since when Anna's archive requi9res a log in bruhI'll have to dig up the physical copy my parents have...
>>85077412I'm reading the heart is a lonely hunter and nick drake: the life right now. what are you fellas reading
>>85083119>Pirating a public domain book
>>85084037Force of habit at this point
All human wisdom is contained in these two words: 'Wait and Hope.
>>85079426The usual /lit/ stuff. I can only remember a couple of Dosto including Notes From the Underground and I think White Nights, and Junger's Storm of Steel.
>>85085453Thanks. Where is this passage from?
>>85087387It's the last sentence of The King of Marty Christmas o algo
L'Etranger read when?
What was everybody's favorite sentence of The Count of Monte Cristo so far?
>>85089621The Pharoan cannot set sail without its captain.
