So far we have:

Count me in. My vote for the first round goes to invisible cities, since I and a few others want to read it, but my pick for later rounds would be Fathers and Sons by Turgenev (if y'all haven't read it yet)

^^Yeah I've read that one and didn't like it, but I forget why.

Edit: Recorded my thoughts on it on MB actually, just seemed old fashioned I guess.

Btw, I thought the idea was more to motivate us to read things we haven't yet. You've read it recently or you would read it again because you like it so much?

I read it quite a long time ago so I'd like to read it again at some point, but the main reason I picked it was that I think of it now and then when I'm on MB, what with all the nihilism and all. So I'm curious about MB members' thoughts on it.

why does a book club mean they tell you what book to read?

you go to a strip club there's a variety of strippers

you go to a gay club there's a variety of gays

you go to a book club and they tell you what book to read and then judge the way you interpret it
