DNM Book Club?

So this was mentioned in another thread that I just read and I would love for this to happen. Apparently there was a book club on the Silk Road forums? I've been looking for a book club to join but the only person I know who belongs to a book club is my mother...she belongs to the Junior League book club...I think they just read a biography about George Washington....anyway any interest here??? Throw out some good books you've read recently, maybe we can start something interesting?

Edit: I'm going to post some books I like that come to mind in the comments. Not all obviously drug related. Please post your own!I have some free time for the next few months, I would love to help get a book club started.

Yeah I wasn't around for silk road but I here the community was a lot more like what I wish this one was a little more like.

But I don't think that talking about the love of books would be that relevant in this particular sub. I've posted a few book related ideas that were either vaguely related to the DNM or in the off topic threads. Not sure people come here to talk about books, but its good to know I'm not the only one here interested in this kind of thing.

I haven't read anything DNM related, unless by some vague stretch of the imagination, but here is what I have read recently/am currently reading:

  1. The Name of the Rose, Umberto Eco
  2. Tropic of Cancer, Henry Miller
  3. The sirens of Titan, Vonnegut
  4. The Complete Short Stories and Parables of Franz Kafka

Last one is a phenomenal read

Also reading a few essential texts on yoga practice/philosophy

Mentioned this before, Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World by Haruki Murakami. Also all of his short stories.

Nadja by André Breton!

"Beauty will be convulsive or will not be at all."

Ulysses, I feel like that's a weird book to read in isolation without discussing it with people

This quote wasn't originally by James Joyce but

"My methods are new and are causing surprise To make the blind see I throw dust in their eyes"

Modiano is amazing, it's like all of his books form one murky, beautiful universe.

"It does also happen that one evening, because of someone's attentive gaze, you feel a need to communicate to him not your experience, but quite simply some of the various details connected by an invisible thread, a thread which is in danger of breaking and which is called the course of a life.

Circumstances and settings are of no importance. One day this sense of emptiness and remorse submerges you. Then, like a tide, it ebbs and disappears. But in the end it returns in force, and she couldn't shake it off. Nor could I."

Geroges Perec is a really interesting author, Life a User's Manual is a mindfuck and someone should really make it into some kind of board game

J.M. Coetzee, I read Waiting for the Barbarians recently, it was pretty good

Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead! I guess that's technically a play
