Howdy,
This month's book club selection for /lit/ is Margaret Atwood's Oryx and Crake. If you are interested in wanting to join us in discussing and reading the book, send an email to 4chanreads@gmail.com.

We will be discussing the book on February 26th.

I liked Cat's Eye and started Robber's Bride. I was in high school though and don't think I'll go back to reading her.

To be sure, I was skeptical about Atwood because I have read other books by her and have been less than enthused about them. However, being able to talk about books and get others opinions about what a book is doing trumps reading things that I would not normally read on my own volition. However, this isn't to say Ill read any trash that comes my way, but that I am curious about why people like Atwood and will be glad to give her another chance. I won't read, however, Bonnet Romance.

I want to hate on this, but somehow I can't. It must be so innocent...

>> No.2375843

Is this gonna get stickied? Sounds like a fantastic idea.

Innocent romance is beautiful. To be able to not worry about kids, about marriage, about money, about jobs, about school. Just to love each other and want to be beside one another. To ache for one another.

It never lasts, unfortunately.

This books is very Child Pornography.

Probably not ,but we just need to keep bumping it just like I am doing now

>> No.2376691

I'm reading this - you're going to discuss it here rather than on Google, right?

Maybe Goodreads?

We plan on discussing it here. Originally we were supposed to get a sticky ,but the mods are not responding to the emails we sent them (kind of expected 4chan =/=mods)
