What?

Their club was koten-bu, classic literature club or classics club or something like that.

Just sorta crossed my mind that I don't remember what the heck that actually means.

Don't they chronicle the daily lives of their school

Does it really matter? We're supposed to self insert as MC

I wish I was smart
I wish I was in a small club
I wish my HS didn't suck

Funny thing, I studied Japanese literature and I'm not sure what it refers to either. I never heard anyone use the term, really. A Japanese search suggests it is used more to refer to Chinese classics.

Well, generally the notion of "Classics" in Japan includes both Chinese classics (which would be our equivalent of Roman and Greek classics) and Japanese courtly literature, generally centered around the Heian period (Tale of Genji etc.)

Saussure's collected works and treatises on semantics and diachrony/synchrony, along with several of Chomsky's landmark works on generative grammar.

>reading Saussure at all
Structuralism was dead in the water m8

Structuralism may be too unwieldy to be of any use but Saussure's sign still forms the base of modern linguistics, and synchrony/diachrony remains as what's essentially the divide between semiotics and philology.

nope

My vote goes to adult Mikuru.

The only book I can remember Oreki reading was Night Flight, or something like that, by Antoine de St. Exupery.

A french novelette, and hardly a classic.

That's because their club is classics in the name only.
He was also reading Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman and some contemporary Japanese authors.
