Page 7 (Offtopic Book Club) Is Here!

Well, you wanted it, I wanted it, so its here! Introducing [i][b]Page 7[/b][/i], the official Offtopic Book Club! As some of you might remember, I posted a few days ago to see if any interest existed among my fellow offtopians in starting an offtopic book club. Quite a few of you liked the idea, so I went ahead and made a b.net group page where we can all become members and hang out. Just follow the link below and join: https://www.bungie.net/en/Groups/Chat?groupId=3741010 Besides being a general recruitment post, I was hoping those interested in participating would also suggest possible titles/authors below. Because we will be reading titles that, while fun, can be somewhat challenging I was thinking it would be best if we start with one book. We could set aside a 30 to 60 day time frame to read the piece we decide upon. Once we've chosen a specific work, I'll assign a tentative start and end date during which we will read it. Then we can all reconvene and have some discussion/reflection. The structure of how we actually do things is flexible, and I would appreciate any suggestions you all might have. So lets suggest some titles. I'll start. Just list the name of the author/work, and maybe even add an amazon or wiki link to each specific book you have in mind. That way fellow members can check it out, and maybe even buy it or track it down at their local library. [u][i]Peaches' Suggestions[/i][/u] 1. [i]The Hero With A Thousand Faces[/i], by Joseph Campbell https://www.amazon.com/Thousand-Faces-Collected-Joseph-Campbell/dp/1577315936 2. [i]Fahrenheit 451[/i], by Ray Bradbury https://www.amazon.com/Fahrenheit-451-Ray-Bradbury/dp/1451673310 3. [i]The Invisible Man[/i], by H.G. Wells https://www.amazon.com/Invisible-Man-Dover-Thrift-Editions/dp/0486270718 4. [i]Mere Christianity[/i], by C.S Lewis https://www.amazon.com/Mere-Christianity-Lewis-Signature-Classics-ebook/dp/B002BD2UR0 [spoiler]While I know a book on religion could be a turn off to some, as a somewhat skeptical Christian this is one of my all time favorite works in defense of the Christian faith. It reads way different than the usual evangelical drivel to be expected in most books defending Christianity. The book itself has an interesting historical background, as it is actually adapted from a series of BBC radio talks C.S Lewis gave while London was being bombed during the blitz in WWII. One of my all time favorites that I'd gladly read again.[/spoiler] 5. [i]Alice in Wonderland[/i], by Lewis Carroll https://www.amazon.com/Alices-Adventures-Wonderland-Lewis-Carroll/dp/1503222683 6. [i]A Tale of Two Cities[/i], by Charles Dickens https://www.amazon.com/Tale-Cities-Dover-Thrift-Editions/dp/0486406512 Cant wait to see what you guys have in mind...

    I’m going to go ahead and join even though I might not get as much time to read as I’d like, but I will still try to keep up. As far as suggestions go, I’m a fantasy person myself, so any and all suggestions I have will be in those genres usually. Except for the first one. [i]Artemis[/i] by Andy Weir (sane dude who wrote [i]The Martian[/i]) [i]The Inheritance Cycle[/i] series by Christopher Paolini (1. [i]Eragon[/i]; 2. [i]Brisingr[/i]; 3. [i]Eldest[/i]; 4. [i]Inheritance[/i]) (WARNING: Each of these books is at least 500 pages long. They are not for just finishing in an afternoon.) [i]Iliad[/i] and/or [i]Odyssey[/i] by Homer That’s all I got for now. I’ll think of some more stuff later.
