I finally got around to reading the story, I have never read Lovecraft before. What stood out the most to me, was how influenced by esoteric works that were published around the 1920s. I have a small interest in mysticism that I'm trying to expand more of and the first part of this short story remin...

I feel like, in general, we should probably only be reading the first book (except in the case of Discworld where it would probably be better to start with a sub-series - the actual first couple books usually aren't considered representational) - if we want to continue, then we can vote, but it wou...

The G1 Climax started today and I subscribed to NJPW World to watch it. This was the first time I have ever watched a full NJPW event. I'm not the best at critiquing a wrestling match but I did find night 1 to be pretty enjoyable, my favorite match of the night was Jay White vs. Shingo Takagi. In th...

Since Dune seems to be leading, a short question: We would only read the first book, right? Getting through a series of six books is quite a task...

We would only be reading the first book, as it was not listed as the Dune series in the results.

I was 9 years old when I started watching wrestling, the first big event I remember watching was WrestleMania 25. Until 2011 I only casually paid attention to wrestling (really just WWE stuff), when CM Punk's 'pipebomb' promo happened that's when I started really following it, looking up old wrestli...

I wasn't going to nominate a book since I'm the host of this book club, but I decided against this. I'm going to nominate Frank Herbert's Dune, I attempted to read it earlier this year but I couldn't finish it. I wanted to read it before the movie came out and it's trailer released earlier this week...

Just a thought: If everybody who wants to participate nominates something and then the same people vote for what will be read first, every nomination will receive exactly one vote. To avoid that, people could be forbidden to vote for their own nomination or we could rank the nominations. My plan ri...

Rather than going through a list, randomized or not, I've decided that it would be better if users were able to nominated which book we read. Here are the rules for nominations: 1. The book must be on this list. 2. You can only nominate one book or series. The nomination period will end on Wednesday...

2. Voting Starts with: ??? Ends with: ??? Pros: Lets the community decide which book we read, can add the 69 books that received more than 1 vote but didn't make it on to the list.

Hello In the thread asking for predictions on the top 25, I suggested hosting a book club on this forum. Originally I had suggested going from 1-200 or 200-1, and this was met with some enthusiasm. In the results thread I had posted my idea for a schedule starting with 1984. BleuPanda responded to m...

Good job on the roll out BleuPanda. It seems my suggestion of a book club in the guessing thread went over well. I had already assumed that 1984 would top the poll so I already had a schedule in mind. It goes like this: Week 1: Part 1: Chapters 1-7 Week 2: Part 1: Chapter 8-Part 2: Chapter 6 Week 3...

Thanks for this game ordinaryperson, I'd be well up for the 2002 edition if that's still on the table?

It is still on the table, but I going to take a short break before I start that.
