What book should Frank do for the next Book Club?

[John Otter]

The Great Divorce by C.S. Lewis is on deck.

Here is a resource for e-versions https://www.fadedpage.com/showbook.php?pid=20140726

Please add your suggestions for subsequent readings.

Into Thin Air by Jon Krakauer is my suggestion

[Snarkdragon]

Atlas shrugged

[Mojave Josh]

Being that G Edward Might be coming on. Perhaps “ Creature “ is in order. A bit heavy but is written in bit size chunks.

[GamesterX]

Any audio book!!

[QuiteFrankly]

Honestly one of the best suggestions i have received thus far has been The Stand. It's just 1100+ pages and it's going to dissuade many people that i want to encourage. but it's seriously perfect

[John Otter]

I would be dissuaded, but I would begrudgingly engage.

The plethora of post-apocalyptic conflict stories in pop media [and reality] has provided my fill of pandemic drama.

This is not to say that I would rather read a sunshine suppository.

[Casey_Cackalackee]

But Otter, The Stand is an OG end of the world tale. It’s not even post-apocalyptic because you get a front row seat to watch everything go to hell. <3

[John Otter]

A little 'Resident Evil' with a touch of 'I am Legend' and a smattering of 'Walking Dead'

Maybe if 'The Stand' was the score to a musical with Helen Reddy and Shirley Jones - But Helen is dead, so there goes any enthusiasm I might have been able to muster.

Amusing ourselves to death by neil postman

it's a short book, and talks about how our obsession with entertainment and celebrities destroys one's ability to think independently. From the 80's but more relevant now than ever. It's a modern classic in studying propaganda.

in the beginning of the book, he discusses how the models of censorship differed between 1984 and a brave new world. In the 1984 model, there was outright government controlled information. In the brave new world model, any truth would be "drowned in a sea of irrelevance". At the time of writing, he concluded that the brave new world model had won out. Now, it seems like the 1984 model is now taking over.

“Only by Blood and Suffering” by LaVoy Finicum!
very relevant to now, and I just LOVE the descriptions of the home place!

[TheFarmGirl]

…and I second Atlas Shrugged. Amazing book, lots to talk about.

Is this the Stephen King book?

[Krista Selene]

American Cosmic: UFOs, Religion, Technology

I bought this book for Rob a few years ago. The author would make an interesting guest as well. Quick read at 288 pages.

[John Otter]

Is this the Stephen King book?

Yes. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/...qv1tVEP&rank=1

I just think, despite how I used to love S. King and The Stand in particular, that promoting anything by him due to his political delusions is just wrong.

[Keyman]

agree. S. King has a bad case of trump derangement syndrome and he's a jab pusher. haha. screw that guy.

By that reasoning, that leaves about 4 books written by authors that were not complete aholes

[American mad man]

1984 would be great
