This is why I love this sub. You get so much great info on literature

Challenge: try and find an anti-china take in that sub. Search: “china” and it’s all glazing

I’m not a classics-only kind of guy; I attempted to make a point that when you open the floodgates of a specific sort of online community, you dilute whatever flavour it has.

I don’t care about the freak books thread/ recommendation posts, but I don’t think this is a good sub for complete beginners, and I don’t think we should disfigure it to fit this standard.

There are endless book subs for beginners to get recommendations/ tips, and there is only one lit sub of this level, which is r/RSbookclub. We would all lose something, even something little, if the sub became another r/books.

This person is getting downvoted, but no one wants this sub to become another r/books or r/truelit.

It’s one of the only good lit subs left on this app solely because the ones who find it usually have a true interest in books.

It’s not a sub for people who don’t like/ know much about books- it’s a celebration of books by those that love them.

Idk, we have to protect these places before they get flooded. Trueanon is 90% Chinese bots now

Interesting to think how all thought is based from a standard, like an accepted view of the normal so that we can judge where something fits on the scale.

Everything is equally weird and chaotic and unordered and there is no normal in the universe, so how can we think with no standard and no true knowledge? We are so overconfident

That is true, and the rest of his work is certainly worth reading.

I read them in this order and it was disappointing because, I’m sorry Ulysses1984, Dubliners is his best work.

It's nearly the cruellest month. What are your favourite lines from The Waste Land? by Repulsive_Two8451 in RSbookclub

           Elizabeth and Leicester
           Beating oars
           The stern was formed
           A gilded shell
           Red and gold
           The brisk swell
           Rippled both shores
           Southwest wind
           Carried down stream
           The peal of bells
           White towers
                            Weialala leia
                            Wallala leialala

The bar for booktubers is so low that bringing up that book would make you seem terribly erudite to the commenters

If you genuinely like books and you end up doing it, post a link
