Would anyone be up for a Moby-Dick reading group some time

is this just a cover for a jerk off group?

>>9525473
the things you think about...

where?

>>9525470
my copy arrived not long ago. been reading the greek plays for a while now, could use a "rest", so I am totally down for it

I'd like that, I was planning on reading it in summer anyway

To answer your question: Yes.

>>9525470
Yeah, anyone want to get a Skype group going?

>>9525470
No. We are reading women and men

>>9525470
Sure. When did you want to start?

Is this going to fall apart like Infinite Summer always does?

/lit/ reading groups always suck

>>9525470
I'm down. Just say when and where.

>>9525470
To prevent it from falling apart, try using the litcord desu.

>>9525470
I literally JUST finished it today, fuck you.
Moby Dick is an illusion

>>9527191
I'd be down if we set a date right now.

Read it two summers ago and loved it. Read and done a lot since and would like to reread it.

>>9525578
Dude Greek tragedy at least for me is readable like 5-6 plays at a time but gets so overwhelming beyond that, especially with the earlier tragedians. At least Euripides has some happier endings. Good on you for reading them though; which are you done with/working on now?

>>9525470
Been meaning to read it, and just started Brothers Karamazov. But I can wait on Fyodor since I want to read More Dick more.

>>9527650
>Read it two summers ago and loved it. Read and done a lot since and would like to reread it.

Same here. It's also fairly straight-forward so I think we could generate some good discussion and it wouldn't fall apart (knock on wood).

How about July? I'm in the middle of some books I'd like to finish before tackling this bad boy once again.

My edition is roughly 730 pages. If we go at it 30-40 pages a day (which isn't a lot) we could finish it in 18-25 days, roughly.

I ordered the loa paperback the other day just waiting for it to get here. Been rereading some O'Connor stories but it should be fun.

I am in guys.

Sure. I was just thinking about rereading it anyway.

I'm in.

Cool, but howdo we go on about it?

I'm down, just ordered it

I'm in.
Just bought the book. Also it would be great if we had a discord channel.

Why not

>>9527276
Can you spare an invite ?

>>9529694
dont, its full of misogynists

>>9525470
I'm in

So any consensus on when we should start? How are your backlogs?

June, July, August?

>>9529744

im down for july

>>9529727
Meh, I don't care.

>>9529751
yeah july is good for me as well

>>9529751
>>9529744
June/July is good for me

>>9529744
Late June/ July

>>9529694

this is the litcord. we'll open a channel for moby dick when we figure out when we'll read it exactly.

there are several channels currently open and the glass bead game reading group will start may 26th so you can hop in for that too if you're interested.

Thanks based anon

>>9529822
the discord has too many babies in it

>>9527896
Maybe going by chapters would be better.

>>9531164
This, not everyone will be reading the same edition.

>>9531164
Maybe, but some chapters are really short, others longer.

>>9529744
I second July. Sounds like 1 July would work for a lot of people.

>>9531825
Alright. I'll have a look at all the chapters and try to come up with some sort of reasonable schedule and post it in a few days.

Feel free to come up with a schedule, if you want. We'll discuss the pace before it's finalized to make sure everyone is on board.

>>9525473
of course. the whole book is a metaphor for an extended masturbation session

Literally started to reread it last night. Only got a little way in so I will wait until this gets up and running before carrying on. Definitely up for it.

Read it two years ago and it remains my favourite book, gonna read the Collins paperback in the op with you lads

>>9525473
I hope so

I'm in, July is fine.

I was going to read it in July, but I'm too fast for a reading group.

We need a schedule guys.

>>9525470

Plan on taking mine on holiday with me, gonna be a fun two and a half months. Would the Wordsworth edition be fine? If I end up liking it a lot I'll probably buy a better edition.

>>9534858
Working on it. Will upload in an hour or two.

I'm not gonna read it this summer, but I'd love to eavesdrop on you

I'd love to. The only problem is I'm at page 320 in Infinite Jest. I can't finish it in time for July!

>>9535390
Wow thank you, I really needed something like this to get started

Why is Moby Dick suddenly popular here?

>>9535716
memetic desire is real

those who think Ismael is the protagonist aren't allowed

>>9535716
>suddenly
There has never been a single point in time where /lit/ hasn't had a moby dick thread up

also, summer is right around the corner

>>9536434
>moby dick is a newfags book

>>9536439
It's a good book for newfags, honestly, because it gives them a taste of just what they're in for when they switch from reading "normal" books to proper literature. Better than fucking Infinite Jest, for example.

sure will you moby dick my asshole if i finish?

>>9535390
>finishing on my bday

I feel good about this

>>9536434
Now that you mention it...

>>9535923
Yeah, it's Ishmael you scrub

>>9536439
Although a bit long for entry level its actually a newfags book.
