So to end all of the confusion of what we have read and what we haven't read - I've organized this list. These are all the books that we have discussed in the past. And they are links to the original discussions - so I encourage you to check out the books and add to the discussions.

If anybody finds any mistakes in this list or has any suggestions - feel free to post them here. Please click on all the links and check them out for me. I will be adding the books to this list after I move them to the Official Cult Book Club Forum (after the discussion is over).

Great List PGoutis.

Im going to try plow through a few of this books and then read up on them.

Right now Im busy as Hell at work but in New Year I will set some time aside for the Book Club. I always think that my opinions wouldnt be strong enough but then and again I never thought I would fit in at The Cult.

Well you seem to be fitting in fine here. I don't think that there're anything to worry about either way. ;)

Re: List of Past Book Club Books

So I spent so much time making all of these links... and now none of them work anymore.  Maybe I will get around to fixing them when everything calms down a bit here.  I thought this was a really good way to keep track of everything.

many of thhis books are pretty good...I didn`t read all these books, cause it`s impossible to find in Russia...
But Joyce, Vonnegut, Murakami, Coupland are great...

Could you make you own list? It would be great :-)

At first I thought you were being serious.  I was thinking Kabol is being such a dick.  What the fuck?  And then I was like - he's been here long enough to know that I didn't pick all of those books.   But yeah - that's why you don't let yourself get pissed until you read the whole message!

Yeah - the links took a long time to do.  If I redid it now - it would take even longer because of no copy and pasting for some reason.  So I think I'm going to wait.  The base is there I just have to fix a few things in each link (I think) and then they will all be ready to go again...
