Come read Hadji Murat with a group of people who actually finish books, unlike 99% of these reading groups.
Schedule is 5 chapters a day starting Monday, and then Forged Coupon on the weekend.
Hadji Murat is only 212 pages, and papa Bloom calls it: “my personal touchstone for the sublime of prose fiction, to me the best story in the world, or at least the best that I have ever read.", and what Joyce called the finest story he ever read.
This reading group has finished: Makioka Sisters by Tanizaki, Melmoth the Wanderer/Melmoth Reconciled, Middle C by Gass, Don Quixiote, Dante's Divine Commedy, Magic Mountain by Mann, Hyperion by Hoderlin, Walaschek's Dream by Orelli, Petersburg by Bely, Kappa by Akutagawa and others!

No, Joyce was referring to "How Much Land Does a Man Need?"

damn, I'm impressed. Every time I check the discord it's some losers talking about their fapping schedules and social anxiety.

Do you people not have jobs?

you are correct, apologies. Misread pap bloom's book. As for the losers talking about fapping schedules, maybe in the past, we have purged them now.

thats like 50 pages a day. If you can't handle that then just read it slower.

>>9151904
that's 1, 2 hours a day at most?

I've read Hadji Murat, which I thought was good but not great. It could be a translation issue (Carson.) I did prefer The Cossacks for a book in a similar setting.
