| -Thus Spoke Zarathustra by Nietzsche
-Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy
-Choke by Chuck (feels funny saying these back-to-back) Palanhuik
I'd be down to read anything insightful though. What books do you have in mind? | |

| Well initially I was going to pitch:
The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoevsky (a huge read though, might be too heavy)
The Once and Future King by T. H. White (the great King Arthur story)
and
Speed Tribes by Karl Taro Greenfeild (an non-fiction about a Japanese subculture) | |

| I'd like to read Fyodor BUTTTT length can be an issue. The whole book club could die out or lose interest. | |

I agree. We could break it down into chapters and do it behind the scenes of the main read. Reading Crime and Punishment is what got me into the literature so I'm very pro-Dostoevsky. | |

I'd love to get involved with this but I'm miles behind on my reading as it is so I don't really have time :/ | |
