EDIT: This thread used to be called “Antitheocra Book Club~” – but the club is absolutely open to all states. Every once in a while, we pick a book to read together, and gather here to discuss it. If you’re interested at all, leave a comment on the thread and become a part of our little club!

Hi dolls! Let’s organize a book club - a safe place where we can read books and discuss them! It’d be so fun and educational… I’m sure this activity will open multiple doors to those who are just starting out with foreign literature. My offer for this week is Little Women. Feel free to join ;)

Past projects:
Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde (Beginning of 2023)
Call of Cthulhu by H.P. Lovecraft (April-May of 2023)

CURRENT PROJECT: “Master And Margarita” by Mikhail Bulgakov
May 16th to June 2nd: Reading time for “Book One” (Chapters 1-18)
June 2nd to June 5th: Official discussion time for “Book One” (continues unofficially after that)
June 5th to June 23rd: Reading time for “Book Two” (Chapters 19-32)
June 23rd to June 27th: Official Discussion time for “Book Two”
(June 27th to June 30th: Suggestion time + continues discussion
July 1st: Next poll)

Online resources:
https://www.d-pdf.com/book/663/read (full text pdf, slightly better format, more difficult to navigate)
There’s also a good professional audiobook you can find on most audiobook services and beyond with fairly little effort.


Note: The plan is subject to change based on the length and difficulty of the book chosen as well as the general reading progress of the majority

nice! thank you girls <3
seriously though, lets maybe wait for 2-3 days to see if more people are willing to join, if not - then we'll set up the due to read the book start to finish and then we'll have some time for a discussion
i think there will be more rules to introduce as more people join, but for now... it's waiting time mostly

Nice! Thank you all for joining!
if you have any suggestions regarding this week’s read - please comment here; if not - let’s set up a deadline for Little Women. It’s quite lengthy so I’d suggest we divide it into smaller segments for a weekly discussion :)
