Nexian Book Club

[UgraKarma]

Godel, Escher, and Bach would be my top recommendation for a book club.

I've started this book countless time and have never completed it. This would be the firm kick in my rear necessary to finish it. (The same could be said for Finnegan's Wake, listed above, which I'd also be happy to read along with the group.)

If we ever were to break off into the realm of short stories (or collections of short stories,) readings of Borges and Lovecraft could be exciting. In addition, I'd be interested in nominating The Rings of Saturn (Sebald), Death in Venice (Mann), and Alice in Wonderland (perhaps in tandem with GEB?) to the list.

My pick is this :

The Stranger by Albert Camus, a french philosopher.


The Stranger represents the mentality of the average nexians and their stance towards society at large.

Let's adventure together


Cheers
