I have, regrettably, become a really really filthy book purchaser and as such if this book club which appears more short lived than Drama Mill Misc ever chooses any of Don Quixote, Wuthering Heights, Moby-Dick, Crime and Punishment, The Picture of Dorian Grey or The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes I would be willing to attempt to read them

I mean there was specifically two slots that I had free to choose and I did decide against them yes
I was actually close to picking animal farm and then I remembered my attempt at reading 1984 which did not go well because I got bored very quickly

I was close to picking up The Oddysey by Homer and I actively chose not to because I didn’t think I’d be able to read greek literature!!

yeah and animal farm is explicitly way easier to read exactly like I said in the message :joy_cat:

by easier to read I thought you were making a comment as if my reading comprehension is not sufficiently high to enjoy reading “difficult” books

it’s not a matter of whether you can understand the words

it’s a matter of whether the text is approachable

I intentionally picked all the least dry stuff I could lol

I was specifically buying all of those books because they were limbus company source material. the only ones that aren’t are sherlock holmes and the picture of dorian grey which I chose because I had read they have dark themes and I like horror
like your recommendation of orwell does suit me and I would’ve picked it if it hadn’t been for my bad experience with 1984 which I explicitly listen to an audiobook of to fall asleep to because I get bored very easily from it

who the fuck even is this

search says french novelist. tragedy

actually a decent recommendation if I was at all interested in the ongoings of late 1800s America which I am not because I am not american

I do appreciate your recommendations but those authors just aren’t for me
I’m sure their books are good

First one is the author of Frankenstein, and the second one is the author of Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea.
