Literary evening. Is it worth it to live?

After 4 literary evenings, I must say not the most successful, the thought periodically pops up, but whether they should be carried out. If I was not mistaken, it was 4 pm and only one was relatively successful and then that he was the first, the rest bent at different stages of development. Therefore, the question arises, who is to blame and what to do.
Who is to blame.
Firstly, the most likely one who finally chooses the book is to blame, all the evenings were from fairly difficult books. Not only are they long, they are also quite difficult not only for reading, but also for discussion.
What to do.
Maybe you should try something not so difficult?
Who is to blame. Part 2.
Probably guilty are we readers. First, not everyone restrains the word and do not read or do not come. Nothing personal, I don’t even remember examples, but I’m sure they were, if not, then sorry.
What to do. Part 2.
Restrain your words. If you already said you read, then be kind, read. If you do not have time, then there is nothing wrong with that, just tell me that you are late and you will wait. And if for some reason you cannot read or participate in the discussion, then also tell me about it. They will probably understand you.
Who is to blame. Part 3.
We (readers) do not arrange disputes, such as with mats and fights. As practice shows, only two people can support a good dispute, and when there are much more people in the same room, then God himself ordered to argue well. A good dispute will drag on for a long time, draw a bunch of people and pull out the idea of evenings from non -existence.
What to do. Part 3.
Start arguing. Do not be afraid and tell someone “you fool you do not understand anything in this work.”And give arguments, otherwise you will turn out stupidly trolling. In general, cultural battles are needed with the participation of many people. And do not be afraid to express your opinion, especially if it differs from others.
Who is to blame. OTT 4.
Even as it seems to me, the author is to blame (the one who started the author), he is to blame for the fact that most often he does not participate in the discussion. Never the authors never took an active part in the discussion.
What to do. Part 4.
Take part in the discussion. If you are the author, be kind, help maintain a conversation, do not stand on the sidelines.

As a result. Perhaps it is worth considering all these factors and make a decision whether it is worth living regular evenings or will volunteers will hold them when they want?

And yet, such an idea has long been hanging, if a person spent the evening well, people liked it and all that, maybe it is worth it, let’s say, give it buns? At least take and frantically blink it. But this is so, a bright future.

So far it seems to be everything. Do not forget to write your opinions.

More recently, a friend of Sodium asked you to spend literary evenings, 62 percent answered positively. So we will assume that it is worth it, but it is stupid to spend them like this, so I propose to start discussing this issue here, that is, how to spend evenings so that it would be interesting. If you have ideas, write.
If anything, here is a Sodium survey

If you need something not long and interesting, then you can take something from Howard Lavravt.
I know that a bunch of people with phrases like “ftang” and t will crawl.D. But a separate work of Lavravt can be mastered in a day – two + there is something to discuss.
Personally, I propose the “ridges of madness” of the classic of the genre, not too difficult for perception, it is easy to find + there is an audiobook in format ..

Yes, Bredbury would not be very bad, only at once but, let’s go without “and the thunder struck”, otherwise a dispute will come out about the times, no more, although if people want it, then it is possible.

Of course laziness. Absolutely laziness. But read a short story to me, personally, not laziness. CKBCH read more than FICGENERALDA. Moreover, short stories can be read “Without moving away from the box office”, right in the topic of discussion, you can hang out the text. If the mountain does not go to Mohammed, then Mohammed goes to the grief.

Okay, take one display, but more. By https://nongamstopsites.uk/ the way. On the one hand, many people love science fiction, on the other, in his works there is a lot of psychology and philosophy.

I’m sorry, but my telepathic skills are not so developed as to understand what I mean, but did not write, a long -dead author.

A man is a terribly old and beaten topic, but almost everyone writes about people. And where I wrote about loneliness in the universe? or rather that we are not alone?

So to this old and beaten topic add interesting and unexpected thoughts.

I also love Lovecraft, but you clearly overestimate it.

I write this, talked at horror, on a piece of toilet paper, holding a pencil barn between the two fingers of the left leg (I lost all the other fingers, I lost my run away from … However, it is better to tell you what I ran away from, it is so huge and disgusting that you better not even try to imagine it). It remains for me to live exactly until I will add this huge paragraph without a single dialogue for twenty pages (and this is even good, because I will not have to experience monstrous torments, re -read the written) and I do not advise you to read it because you are reading this to go crazy and slowly fading away in the hopeless darkness.
Resting in Turkey (not with my wife, no, alone, because I am a childless widower) I ordered shrimp, but instead they brought me squid and, looking at this slippery product of the abyss, I suddenly realized with frightening clarity in comparison with those who lived before us.

Well, in short, the meaning of this Petrosyanship is that the atmosphericity in his books even a ladle bread, but the meaning, if there is, then only within the framework of the world created by him.

Ah, our books are already not read in the name? Well, gentlemen, I advise you to develop – to start talking on the covers.

You are to me? if yes, then the answer
I do not overestimate, I give an example, discussed here the “picnic on the side of the road”, the person mistakenly combined two different books into one, and if there are three of them? After all, you need to read books in advance.

Lacraft has a very worked out universe, it is being worked out with these trifles, it has almost all works, you can’t leave many white spots here, otherwise you can get confusion. And nothing suffers from it, as it seems to me.

My point of view is true for me a priori, otherwise I would not express it. He wrote that this was understood by a 14 year old boy, who at that time did not hear about the English theology of the 20th century (except with a glimpse). I understood and accepted.
And for you, any speech of God in materiality is everything, memes of candles, psychodel began. O_O

This thought sounds like a priori. Background. He does not prove it and does not develop it. Even the main character of it is more ancient civilization than people.

It is one thing when there is no message, another when this message is definitely determined, no need to confuse different things.

Father too smart, and when too smart, not too clear. Write so that it would be clear, not smart.

Formally not, but in fact, yes, no matter how sad it is, I know from personal experience. Everyone unsubscribed on one day, until the matter does not go further, another day is the second and the discussion can be closed. And yet, you have violated the tradition, evenings should start on Friday.

Proves, and how, I will not prove my position for now, but I will ask this. What have you read by Lovecraft and how long have you read it?
