I also think a shorter novel could be good.

Maybe The Extras by Scott Westerfeld.
It's about a futuristic society that centers around social media. Basically, of you're not an influencer, you're an extra.  The main character is a teenager who isn't satisfied with being an extra & hopes to find something to go viral.

I think it will be a good read because it will make players think about social media use today & where we might be headed.

(The Uglies Trilogy by Scott Westerfeld is also a good read. It may be relevant to Ximboland players because it takes place in a society where everyone gets plastic surgery on their 16th birthday.)

I’d love to join! I suggest “A Room of One’s Own” by Virgina Woolf! It’s not too long either, I think less than 200 and more on the 130-150 side :)

I'd love to join too! Love reading, and I've got way too many books that are sitting here waiting to be read. Classics are my faves.

Edit: Wanted to suggest maybe Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux. It's an amazing read. Les Miserables by Victor Hugo is amazing too, but it's devastating and incredibly long. If anyone like Dostoevsky, it might be handy to read his works in a group setting since the translations from Russian to English can make his books a bit daunting to read at times.

I read "A Man Called Ovi" it is the book the Tom Hanks movie"A Man Called Otto" is based on.it was very good, and very emotional. You'll laugh and cry.
He met his wife when she dropped a book on the train platform. I did a screen grab, zoomed in on the book and got the title. It is Master and Margarita. It is 1930s Russian literature. I'm reading it now. Very complicated read but OH so good. If you read it, i recommend taking notes.
I would suggest either or both of these.
