    There are no russians on that list.

    This is not a proper book club.

    I'm interested, but I don't know if I'll have the time to acquire or read any of the books listed for the next 1-2 weeks or so. I'll definitely tag along later, though.

    Or you could just pick a book that I've already read, and we can still discuss it

    Aristotle?

    Totally in.

    We should set a time to Finish Book One, then. Say a week today? That should allow everyone enough time to at least have a good crack at digesting it.

    Do we want to read it all at once or do we want to go chapter by chapter?

    I don't particularly have a preference, I just want everyone on the same page (EAT THAT GREGOSHI, IM RIGHT IN YOUR WHEELHOUSE,COME AT ME BRO)

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    I would prefer chapter by chapter. It would help those that read slower.

    Ah, nice. I'm changing my stance from "not a proper book club" to "in".

    So, Book 1(or chapter 1 or whatever) within next friday? I guess sfts will have to make the executive decision, being head tyrant and all...
