TLDR: Maybe start a poll on what book the club should read and then determine deadlines? Is that how this works? I'm in dawg.

I believe I’ve got digital copies of all of Vonnegut’s books, I’ll check when I’m home later and upload them if anyone wants em
Gnarx3 Please upload my brethren!
I bought Slaughterhouse 5 on Audible and THEN found out it's read by James Franco. Not only is he out here predatoring minors and teaching classes at prestigious colleges: this dude fucking slurs every other pages while reading with -1000 tonality. I can't even do it. I'm like 82 years old and just started reading my first Vonnegut book, he fully ruined my intro to Vonnegut.
I 'finished' blood meridian last month and would love to know what the fuck was going on there. I had to have no country for old men explained for me too but i'm a fan of everything from Suttree to The Road. The road was the only one I didn't have to immediately look for CliffsNotes to remedy my stupid ass. I'm too intimidated to start CMacMc's newest book.
Happy there is so much interest. I’m also new to the book club thing but I believe that’s the gist. We’d read like a chapter week, then come back here and say what we thought.
I actually downloaded the Kurt Vonnegut story and it’s literally only 6 pages, haha. I had read it a long time ago in high school and I always thought about it from time to time- but I don’t know if there is enough to talk about.
I actually just bought Blood Meridian and have liked other Cormac McCarthy books so I’m putting my vote down for that one too. Seems shortish, of general interest. Then move on to some of the other good suggestions.
Anyways, I’m just the person that came up with the idea, so if everyone wants to read something else that’s cool too.
Also TL;DR I’m for discussing Chapter One of Blood Meridian in 2 weeks. One week for everyone to get the book and another to read a chapter. Does that sound agreeable?
